This House-Hunting App Is Trending In Ontario & It’s A Total Life Hack

Your dream home is just a few taps away.

Sponsored Content Contributing Writer

Shopping around for a new place can be fun and exciting at first — you're finally taking that giant leap in your adult life, after all — but the process can get super overwhelming the more you search for the perfect home that checks all your boxes.

Whether you’re looking to buy or rent, there are many things to consider: will the house be in a good neighbourhood? Does it have close commuting options? Is the basement rentable? What will your monthly mortgage look like? And what if something doesn’t work out — can you find similar properties?

Spare yourself the headache and cut down the search time simply by signing up with The Canadian Home.

The smart, interactive platform is the solution hub for all your home-buying (or renting) needs. They have a website and handy app that uses the latest AI-powered technology to help you explore over 6 million property listings across Ontario and find your dream home.

The Canadian Home App is pretty much like the best real estate agent ever, except it’s totally free. Simply sign up using your phone number and once you're in, navigating the app is as easy as ordering your morning latte.

To make it even better, The Canadian Home has a first-of-its-kind in-app chat feature that lets you talk about and share potential properties with friends and family. Yup, that means you can compare dream homes with your future roomies right in the app.

With just one tap, you'll also be connected with an expert to learn more details and about homes on your list.

Searches can be refined to your liking so you're only seeing homes in your preferred cities and neighbourhoods (from detached and semi-detached homes to condos and townhouses).

From there, you can further filter by adding square footage, garage type (two-car, detached) and basement type (without, finished, separate entrance).

Each listing comes with a plethora of information — architecture type, how many bedrooms and bathrooms are on each floor, all the appliances that come with the house. Translation: you can save some cash on laundry machines and microwaves.

There's even a super helpful market-demand scale that’ll tell you whether a house in a specific area is in a buyer's market, a seller’s market or a balanced one. If you're still unsure though, you can easily search for an open house at a nearby location right through the app.

If there's a particular house you found or chatted about with a friend or partner via the app, go ahead and add it to your favourites to get real-time notifications on its updates (like whether it was sold, terminated or if there's a price hike or drop).

Trust, it’ll save you so much time.

Gone are the days of sitting at the kitchen table, crunching numbers to figure out your expenses. With the monthly mortgage and expense calculator, you'll know exactly what you’re getting into without hurting your brain.

Whether you're considering browsing luxe rentals in Toronto or searching for your forever home in a more rural setting, The Canadian Home App is a total game changer.

To experience the new way of house-hunting, check out The Canadian Home's website or download The Canadian Home App and follow them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or YouTube.
