Must Have Property Apps

Must Have Property Apps: November 12, 2014

Hi Followers....I have done some research for you and found these apps for those contemplating on taking the big step into the housing market.

These are but some of the many apps emerging daily but they will give you an idea of what's out there. Feel free to send some feedback if you use them or let Home Addressed know of any useful apps so we can let others know too!  Enjoy!


TOP PROPERTY APPS

Realestate.com.au

Apple/ Android

The popularity of the app version of this real estate search engine speaks for itself, with 2.8 million downloads recorded. Users have access to the site’s vast database of listings and can create an account to save favourite properties.

Houzz

Apple/ Android

This vast library of stylish photos is a great starting point for design inspiration. The search can be filtered for specific trends, rooms or locations and users can create ideabooks to store their favourite pictures.

Magic Plan

Apple/ Android

Create and store floorplans easily with this innovative app. Users can either draw the shapes on their phone’s screen or use the camera to capture the room’s layout. Completed plans can be exported or copied to share with other people.

MoneySmart

Apple/ Android

Simplify budgeting with this set of financial calculators. Users can change the terms to see what impact a change in interest rates or repayment time frame would have on the balance of the loan. The savings calculator could also be used as a guide for saving a deposit.

AroundMe

Apple/ Android

People new to an area, or who wouldn’t consider living more than a few blocks from good coffee, will appreciate this handy neighbourhood guide. Everyday essentials like ATMs, petrol stations and restaurants are ranked by distance from the user.

Commbank Property Guide

Apple/ Android

Compare recent sales data and stay up to date with market trends with this app from Commonwealth Bank (CBA) and RP Data. Auction results, suburb insights and the CBA mortgage repayment calculator are handy features.

SRO Mobile

Apple

Navigate the world of government grants and concessions for first-home buyers with the State Revenue Office’s mobile app. Users answer questions to get an assessment of which grant they are eligible for and how much they could receive.

Paint My Place

Apple

This app allows users to trial paint colours from well-known brands digitally, saving renovators from collecting reams of physical colour swatches. Take a photo of the area to be repainted and either use the auto-fill function or colour in the area manually to get a preview of how it will look.
