Online Real Estate, we need one in the Philippines the combines all!


Real estate site Redfin announced today that it has raised $10 million more in a fourth round of fudning.

Comment: I have often written about the lack of a good search engine for Philippine real estate which also includes map location and prices. Hope that some computer wiz here develops one or puts the present data into a useaful data base and would be a godsend to buyer. If they can do it in USA they certainly can do it here in the Philippines

I hope this comment isn't too late.

There's http://www.haybol.ph/. It uses maps and location-based searches to present real estate opportunities. We don't have that much funding compared to Trulia and Zillow. But with Filipino ingenuity, I'm sure we can get somewhere.

Let us know what you think. It's still a work in-progress. Thanks!

Google results showed a couple of good all-in-one- real estate classifieds out there that's 100% Filipino.

Most of them are free to post and the good thing is that pinoys are proud to help each other.

These are very helpful tips that everyone must consider before buying a condo. At the end of the day, it is important that you are honest with yourself of how much you can afford so it won’t turn out to be a disaster.
