In today's article we will see how the real estate sector has evolved and how you can buy a house online 100% safely and with all the facilities. Let's go there!

What is the process of buying a house online?
Find your future home
Since real estate portals such as idealista or fotocasa were born, searching for a home has become a much simpler process with many more opportunities. Those times when you had to go to real estate agencies in person to ask, and the problems that existed if you were looking for a house outside your city, are long gone. Now, in just one click, you can see all the properties for sale, from different real estate agencies and individuals, and from all over the world.

Currently, you can find real estate agencies like Housfy, which offer an entire online Chinese Overseas America Number Data buying and selling service. You can search for the property from our search engine , schedule a visit through our portal and if you are interested you can make the reservation online. A very simple and fast process.

Silvia Coll, our real estate expert, tells us the reasons why it is important to advertise a home on real estate portals:

The future of real estate: virtual visits
For some time now, there have been virtual tours or visits, which offer a more exact approximation than photos and allow you to make a prior visit to the property and see if you are interested. Tours allow you to virtually walk through the house, see the layout and visualize the space much more clearly.

As a result of confinement and the need for alternatives to presence, this has gone one step further, and 3D and virtual reality tours have become more normalized. A very realistic experience of what the home is like and, who knows? In a few years we may be buying houses through virtual tours.

For now, it is a great way to save time and unnecessary trips . Instead of visiting all the properties you like on portals, you can make a better selection of those you are really interested in visiting thanks to a virtual tour.

Buy a house online and apply for a mortgage
Finally, there's the most essential part of buying: applying for the mortgage . In the same way that we could see the evolution of the real estate market, the same has happened with bank loans. A few years ago, 100% online banks began to emerge that allowed you to do all the management online, except for signing before a notary.

Now, traditional banks like Santander have joined forces and are creating their online mortgages for all those who had problems applying for a mortgage during confinement. And it seems that this type of model is here to stay.
