Do you need help keeping track of whether a home meets your criteria? How do you remember which house had the pool and which house had room for a pool? House Hunter is a new app that allows buyers to keep track of a home's features from a list of 80 features. Not only can you track the features, but you can score them as well. You can also add your own criteria to the list in case you want something really specific, like an indoor water slide (yes, I have seen houses with indoor water slides!). The app is available from Apple and consumers can choose between two versions- the free, limited version or the full version for $4.
While touring a home you rank the home's features. You can also add photos or comments. Once you are done the app calculates an overall score for the property. You can then e-mail your ratings to your real estate agent (or anyone else invovled in your home search).
This app should be very helpful to buyers. If you have seen a lot of properties in one day (and by a lot I mean anything over 4), this will allow you to keep them straight, which is harder than you think. It will also be great if your home search is taking place over an extened period of time. And it will force buyers to have a clearer idea of what they are looking for before they start to look at homes. Refining your list of needs and wants is essential to making an informed real estate purchase.
