There’s an App for That: 5 Must-Have Apps for Homebuying

Is home shopping starting to feel like a full-time job? If you shook your head “yes,” we have some tricks up our sleeve (er, apps), that are smarter than ever and ready to help. Whether you’re house hunting on your lunch break or comparing mortgage rates every night before you go to sleep, there’s apps for homebuying that can make the process smoother, faster, and (dare we say?) more fun. 

Let’s do this. Here are seven apps you need to ease your homebuying journey worries. 

You Know It, You Love It: Zillow 

We’ve all used it, but we would be remiss if we left it off this list.  Zillow is a fantastic place to browse homes, get price estimates, and simultaneously search in multiple locations, letting you easily compare homes from every place you love. 

Real-Time Listings, Real Fast: Redfin 

Never miss an update! Redfin updates listings every 5 minutes. Their app also includes handy features like price history, walk scores, and Redfin agent availability for tours.

Want to dig into school ratings and commute times? Realtor.com serves up all the details you didn’t know you needed, but will most definitely appreciate.  

Plus, create a straightforward property profile to keep track of the details that matter to you, from classic fireplaces to community pools (and everything in-between).

Filter your search geographically with map overlays and real-time MLS listings. With over 55 million reviews from neighborhood locals, you can find out more than just square footage, like dog friendly vibes, legal protections and beyond.
