The Evolution of Property Online

It’s understood in Dubai that if you’re looking for property, your search should start at bhomes.com. This website has become the go-to real estate resource for its massive database of listings, its advanced search features, and above all its unparalleled images, floorplans, maps, and unit information. Well, now there are two additional reasons to get online, with the new “Make an Offer” and “My Account” features. 

 

Make an Offer

It’s understood in Dubai that if you’re looking for property, your search should start at bhomes.com. This website has become the go-to real estate resource for its massive database of listings, its advanced search features, and above all its unparalleled images, floorplans, maps, and unit information. Well, now there are two additional reasons to get online, with the new “Make an Offer” and “My Account” features. While a simple concept, this feature allows for more efficient “price discovery” in the property market; it lets owners know what buyers are willing to immediately pay for their property.  In the current economic climate, it can be very tempting for owners to be presented with a real price at which to sell.

 

There are three goals with the Make an Offer feature:

  1.  Help bring price clarity to the market
  2. Provide buyers the unprecedented ability to “set the first price
  3. Assist landlords who may be in need of a quick sale to find a willing buyer

This system is a unique way for buyers and sellers to find each other in the current market environment. To take advantage of it, just visit bhomes.com and click the Make an Offer button on any property unit page.

 

My Account

 

 

The “My Account” feature is the latest and greatest method for keeping track of your property searches and favourite properties.

 

After signing up for an account (free and easy, of course), you’re able to save any search you make on the website.  After you save a search, you just click that search in the future and up-to-date search results will appear. You’ll now always be aware of the prices of 3-bed duplexes in Downtown or how many beautiful Le Reve penthouses are on the market.

 

In addition to saving your advanced search criteria, you can also save specific properties to your account.  Worried about how long the 3,000 sq. ft. 2-bed will stay on the market at AED 150,000?  Want to keep track of prices and availability of properties in your own tower? Never want to lose sight of the 114th storey full-floor Burj Dubai office that keeps you inspired? Now you can do all these things and much more.

 

Over the coming months there will be numerous features added to My Account, giving you further connection to the UAE property market.  New features are arriving soon, so check back often. 

 

To sign up for your own account, just visit bhomes.com and click on the link in the upper-right corner of the window. Sign-up is free and takes just 2 minutes. Enjoy!
