Apps for Home Buying

      Finding that dream home is a very frustrating and tedious affair. In fact, it counts as one of the 3 most stressful experiences a typical person has ever have to experience. Luckily, technology is here to help. Although it won't completely become effortless for you, but it will definitly make the whole experience easier and more time efficient. In this article we'll be talking about Using Apps for Home Buying.

The Right Neighbourhood

    Find out more about your neighbourhood with WikiHood. The app cover just about any neighborhood in the country. With this, you can find out what it was back then and what it is right now.

      Finding the best safe place can be tough. Sure asking people if the place is safe is ok, but is it enough? Crime Stats let's you access FBI data and bring statistical info of every city in the country. You can even compare them between cities to know which has the lesser crime rate than the other. 

      Want to find out what kind of amenities a neighbourhood has? The Walkscore app might just be the one you need. It rates neighborhoods based on the "walkability" of residents to key points like grocery stores/banks. Another alternative to this app is  AroundMe.

       Deciding on a Home

       Let's say you just found a prospective home and you would like to know the measurements. Using Apps for Home Buying can do just that. With Photo Measures, you can simply take some pictures and the app will make estimates and provide you with measurements of the dimensions of, let's say, a room or the kitchen.

         Now you've found that great neighbourhood and you've stumbled upon a house for sale that's just not quite right and you can't put put your finger on it. Well maybe it's the color of the walls? The ColorSmart app helps you visualize that house with the color that you want. Just take a photo and paint (using the app of course).

Using Apps for Home Buying is simple if you choose the right once at the right moment. Got any more home buying apps in mind? Be sure to share them below with a comment.
