Something that one can find a solution to is which is better-buying a house or renting one. Both of them have their pros and cons, but most of it depends on what your income and situation are. However, if you are looking for a home and are situated in India, then we bring before you the top 5 apps for homebuyers in India.
- NoBroker
By the name itself, you might have understood that there isn’t any hassle of going through a broker and paying huge brokerage fees if you use this app. You will find houses listed by their owners. The company claims to have verified the owners. There are enough listings and details available. Along with looking for houses to buy you can also search for rentals. Setting up basic filters will let you find something according to your need easily. Also, a map view is present that helps us see where everything actually is. The only drawback of this is its recommendations. It might recommend a property in Mumbai despite our search being in Pune. It also recommends places far away from our required locality.
- CommonFloor
Another app that has made it into our top 5 is CommonFloor. One reason is its varied listings at least in Bengaluru. That’s a very important step when it comes to buying a house.

CommonFloor gives 3D tours for some properties which are extremely useful. If you are looking for a home to move in, you might want to give this a try.
