New Delhi, July 25, 2019: With the real estate market opening up and with the government of India launching its “Housing for all by 2020” program, prospective homeowners are looking forward to buying their dream homes. Gone are the days when a prospective homeowner would approach a real estate agent or middleman and hunt for apartments and houses, many of which may not fulfil his or her requirements. Property and real estate portals have long replaced these agents and provide a comprehensive list of properties refined by locality, budget, property type, and other specifications. Industry leaders including Nabil Patel of DB Realty believe that these advanced real estate portals may soon use virtual reality to give their users a virtual tour of their listings.This will further enhance the transparency in the real estate sector and make it easy for the buyers and sellers to interact in an effective manner. Let’s take a look at some of the top real estate property search portals in the country.
- Magicbricks – Magicbricks is the pioneer in Indian property search engines. The portal covers almost all parts of the country and has a comprehensive database of listings.Magicbricks has a great deal of information regarding real estate trends, housing loans, and locality specific pricing. They also arrange for leading real estate developers such as Nabil Yusuf Patel to answer queries.
- 99acres – 99acres is another leading property search portal with a strong pan India presence. So, you can look up completed, ongoing, and upcoming projects in over 45 cities of India. It is a great site for resale listings as well. They have also recently added property listings for Dubai.
- Proptiger–Proptiger is an integral part of Singapore’s Elara Technologies which also owns another popular property search portal called Makaan.com. Proptiger offers thousands of listing across India and also offers comprehensive support by way of site visits, loan facilitation, and relationship management services. Proptiger is also connected to a number of property search portals outside India.
- com–Housing is another up and coming property search portal. The site features offerings from over a lakh individual sellers and real estate developers. Housing.com has a good social media presence as well. It allows users to get 360-degree views of the property. This site is very popular with individual sellers. Housing.com was also acquired by Proptiger recently.
- Commonfloor–Commonfloor is yet another up and coming web portal that allows users to search for property listings. These could be completed or ongoing projects but Commonfloor has a strong presence in the major metro cities of India. If you’re from a Tier 2 or Tier 3 city, it is likely that you may be disappointed with this portal. Despite this shortcoming, Commonfloor’s collaborative approach, simple design, and verified listings are a great hit with Indian property searchers.
