Buying a new home can be a very daunting process. Some people get caught up in the stress and anxiety, and forget that it is supposed to be a very exciting life event. There are several ways to ease your stress levels throughout the entire process, and “there’s an app for that” has never been more true of a statement. Here are five of the best phone apps for people who are buying a new home.

 

  1. Mortgage and Home Loan Calculator - This is the most up to date app that will help you make well-informed financial decisions when you’re purchasing a new home. The app will allow you to compare different options, which will further aid you in finding the best option for you.

 

  1. Zillow - Drive around and area and instantly discover how much each home is worth or which homes are for sale. This will allow you to negotiate a competitive price for your potential new home.

 

  1. Walk Score - Location is something that can make a break a potential home. If you’re looking for a home in a different location and don’t have time to walk around, just check out the Walk Score App. You’ll be able to see nearby amenities and other things that you’re looking for in a new home.

 

  1. AroundMe - AroundMe is another app to check out if you’re not from the area that you’re moving to. Whether you’re looking for a bank or gas station or grocery store, you will be able to search and find exactly what you’re looking for.

 

  1. Wikihood - Using the Wikihood app, you can learn more about any neighborhood you are interested in. The app provides information such as people, culture, buildings, geographical information and so much more!

 

Buying a new home doesn’t have to be stressful. If you find yourself in a situation where it is in fact stressful, all you need to do is visit your app store and find the app that is just what you’re looking for.
