Touring homes is fun, but can be time consuming and take a lot of coordinating with your agent. Zillow® 3D home tours lets buyers and renters tour homes without ever leaving their sofa. Narrow down your options and keep your free time free by touring a new place from the comfort of your current location – no driving or appointment times required. There are also interactive floor plans that show shoppers where they are in the house from various perspectives, as well as the room’s dimensions.

Buying a home is one of life’s biggest financial and emotional decisions. And working with the right partner will make all the difference in your home buying journey. Zillow can connect you with a local real estate agent who can help with your specific needs and put you up on all the game you need to make informed decisions about the home you choose.

Getting a home in your price range that checks off all your boxes can be hard. As a starting point, buyers can use Zillow’s mortgage calculator to get an estimate of monthly mortgage payments based on the price of the home.  You can plug in different interest rates and see what a 15-year loan would look like compared with a 30-year loan, or how varying home prices impact your monthly budget. And homebuyers aren’t the only ones who can find cost analysis resources on Zillow. Renters can be sure that the rent for a home fits into their budgets with Zillow’s rent affordability calculator. These tools can help make it much easier to stay on track with your budget and find a place you love.

Zillow can keep you up to date on what’s happening in the market as a buyer or a renter, so you can make the right choices and never be out of the loop when searching for a new place. Create an account to receive personalized recommendations and notifications as soon as a home that meets your criteria hits the market. You can customize your alerts by price point, number of bedrooms, home type and location. And each time you log in, you can find your Zillow saved searches organized in one place, making it easier to pick up where you left off and move faster.

Securing financing for your home is one of the most important parts of the homebuying process. Small bumps in interest rates can take a home from affordable to out of reach real quick. On Zillow you can learn about affordability, explore financing options and down payment assistance programs, and connect with a qualified loan officer who can work with you to identify the best loan option for your personal financial situation.

If you’re curious about buying a house, in as little as three minutes, you can get pre-qualified first to check your buying power and see what you’re working with. The best part about it is that it has no impact on your credit score. 

Whether you’re a first time buyer or a renter looking for your next home, Zillow has you covered through every step of finding and getting your new place. We highly recommend downloading the Zillow app to start tapping into all of the resources available to help you get the right home for you at the right time.
