Technology has greatly changed the way that we buy, sell, acquire, and consider the housing market. The advances that have been made have given us a whole new set of tools with which to do business, and for you as a buyer or seller, this is great news! You now have the ability to be more informed, and better equipped to make decisions and ultimately do the process justice.
Some of our favorite tools are the websites that give you a quick, informative glance at everything you need to know about either your property, or the property that you are looking at. Sites like Zillow and ZipRealty offer you, as a homeowner or real estate professional, statistics on home value, safety concerns, school ratings, and much more. Both of these sites also offer an incredible app that can give you all the information you are looking for as you buy or sell your home.
Google is another tool that you’re probably quite familiar with, but the benefits that you can get from this application are innumerable. Thanks to Google Maps and Google Earth, you can now get an in depth, real time look at the property that you are considering. Thanks to satellites and advanced technology, you no longer have to wonder what the street you’re looking to live on looks like at night. These tools are invaluable, especially if you are looking to move a great distance and aren’t able to travel back and forth to your new property.
Last but certainly not least, one of the great tools that you can now use is a mortgage calculator and a property tax calculator. This can save you a lot of time and frustration, all the while offering you some stats, graphs, and tables that you don’t have to create on your own. It also can help take some of the frustration out of crunching the numbers yourself and getting them wrong because you haven’t brushed up on your math skills recently. There are tons of apps and websites that offer this service, some are free, some are paid for. But all in all, it can help you do the math quickly and efficiently so you have a ball park idea of your finances before meeting with someone. And when it comes to estimating your property taxes, there are public records directories that can aggregates a large number of properties. All you have to do is enter the zip code and you can automatically see the county’s public records Web sites. Official property search tools can give you a detailed description of any address you plug in and help you figure out exactly what you would owe.
All in all, the advances in technology, while sometimes confusing can give you a massive advantage in the market and can aid you in making the most informed decisions.
