Leading real estate apps get an upgrade, just in time for the spring market

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Toronto, ON Canada, (April 8, 2023) Canadian real estate brokerage Property.ca Inc. has just relaunched two user-favourite mobile search tools: the condos.ca app and property.ca app now have a bunch of helpful new and updated features that make it easier to rent, buy or sell a home in Toronto and the GTA. 

“We’re excited to announce the upgrades,” says Hirad Roshandel, SVP of Technology. “The apps offer users everything our websites do, including a new ‘explore’ tab to make searching for properties faster and easier, and create a whole new look and navigation for a better overall experience.” 

The upgraded apps are even faster and more intuitive than before. It’s easy to set search filters: users can search by area, price, square footage, building type, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, parking, outdoor space, amenities and more. Both active listings and sold alerts can be set for instant push notifications. Buyers can jump on in-demand properties and stay up-to-date on prices, and sellers have up-to-the minute data to inform their pricing strategies. 

 “We are consciously pushing the boundaries of what real estate technology can do, and how buyers and sellers engage with it,” says Roshandel. “We believe the mobile experience is critical for users who are on the go and require immediate access to real estate listings. We've designed our new and upgraded mobile apps to provide a more intuitive and user-friendly experience, with new features that make it easier for users to find their dream property.”

The condos.ca and property.ca apps are free and available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
