Aerial imagery and low altitude home listing data available to home buyers
Today, increasingly more people are using the Internet for countless reasons. One of these purposes is to shop for homes. A particular website, http://www.catalisthomes.com/, features new technology that will change the way people shop for homes. With its new mapping technology that Microsoft developed, CataList Homes allows potential home buyers to see the house they are considering. This is with the help of a high-resolution, aerial imagery and low altitude home listing data. The technology is called Birds Eye View.
Here’s how it works. Birds Eye View allows a buyer to look at the house he is considering, from several different angles. With the help of a computer, the buyer sees his dream house, its exact location and neighborhood. He can even zoom in on the smallest detail he wants to see!
CataList Homes founder Michael Davin says that the Birds Eye View has awakened the sleeping technology used in home searching though the Internet. This concept was introduced five years ago. Since then, it has caused technology giants such as Yahoo, Google and Microsoft, to constantly upgrade the current system. This is done tos outdo their competitors.
Davin adds that the Birds Eye View is not only efficient, but also fun. That’s because one doesn’t only get to zoom in on what his future neighborhood looks like. Rather, he can also view other homes that are for sale. Best of all, the Birds Eye View spares one the inconvenience of scheduling problems between you and your agent, to view a house. Now, one can house-hunt in his office, or even from the comfort of his own home!
Another technology that CataList employed is complementing the efficiency of house-hunting, using Birds Eye View. The AJAX web technology allows website users to zoom in or out on the map, and still get amazing aerial photos. These shots are mostly of the interiors of the house that one might buy.
With these two state-of-the-art house-hunting technologies, it's time for people to say goodbye to long hours of travel with their real estate agents. The latter would most likely dictate the pace and choice of one’s house-hunting.
These innovations are empowering home buyers because they eliminate the need to get real estate agents. In turn, this prevents the customer from being pressured into buying a home, simply to provide the agent with his commission.
The bottom line is that with Birds Eye View, the home-buying process just involves having a computer, getting two pieces of new software, looking at your dream house and calling your agent to take a final look. Amazingly, this trip would be your first visit to the house of your dreams! The real estate industry continues to be an extremely competitive one. Using Birds Eye View helps both buyers and agents adapt to the industry’s changes,.
