  • Good app.

    I like the app but there are still some very frustrating problems. There’s no filters in favorites so when I try to see, for example, homes under €200,000, I have to scroll a long time to get to €200,000. I looked at maybe 5, (trying to see which houses are currently in that price range,) then it refreshed and took me back to the least expensive house in my search.

    I believe that my time is near that I will be purchasing. I wish that it would be easier to look at various types of properties. Yes, improvements have been made. More are needed.

    #1 The size of the land should be mandatory when creating a listing.

    #2 I want to buy a home with 2+ hectares. Land size should be a search filter.

    Palazzo, Castel and age should be filters.

    Yes, I know I have too many favorites. I’m undecided where I will buy and don’t know how much money I will have. So I look & dream but my time is almost here.

    This is from my last review:

    I wish that favorites don’t auto refresh. Favorites should have search filters. Please make a separate field for the land & the buildings square meters. It’s very time consuming to read every description when looking for a homes and casale with hectares of land. Palazzo & castels need to be added to building types.

  • Good app

    I’ve used it for several months now and it has helped me identify several properties in areas I had not even considered before.

    The only drawback to this app is the fact that the people who post the ads aren’t being completely scrutinized in how serious they are about their ad and there are no checks to assure they are within the law regarding what they demand as conditions or whether they are discriminating based on race, religion or sexual orientation.

  • The BEST real estate app on the international market today!

    Hello, I’m a retired doctor. When I decided to retire I started looking for a second home in Italy to buy and use whenever I wanted to spend time in Europe. I came across this app while researching houses on the internet and it’s really an amazing resource. Now, there is a downside to everything and this app gives me all the resources but it can’t give you a reply to your email or good quality pictures… Both of those options come from the real estate agent/broker and apparently Italian agents don’t respond to the messages or cannot read English.

  • Property Addresses

    I am an American looking to relocate Barcelona, Spain. I love using this app to help me learn more about property that might be available when I relocate. The only thing that I wish more promoters would do is put the actual address rather than just the area of where the property is located. An actual address would help me more specifically identify where I want to live in, as I like to see the street. Otherwise, I love the site.

  • Finding a home in Spain works on idealista

    It’s a bit like Zillow in that most rentals appear here. You will find something not just aimed at foreigners but anyone looking. Some stuff stays posted but there’s the option to filter by time posted. Best way to get reasonably priced housing though people sometimes post outrageously high prices just to see if someone will “bite” and some stuff posted doesn’t really exist, it’s developers trying to do a due diligence on whether or not to invest in building.

  • Easy to filter. Decent translations.

    We recently moved to Madrid and used Idealista to find a place to rent and now are using it to find a place to buy. The navigation is very intuitive, it’s easy to filter for the results you want, and the translations are decent for someone like me who doesn’t speak Spanish yet.I did seem to get more responses from the listers if I contacted them directly on WhatsApp (contact info on Idealista) vs. submitting an en quiet through the app.

  • Furnished vs unfurnished

    I love this app. Once you set your default settings and mark the map, you can see a lot of apartments that might fit your needs. But I wish there were a filter for furnished vs unfurnished apartments. Most of the apartments are shown with furniture. You have to look at a lot of furnished apartments before finding those that are unfurnished… if that’s what you’re looking for. In most cases, I believe furnished apartments are intended to be rented as shown. A few have minimal furniture, and it’s hard to know whether the furniture can be removed. If you’re looking for an unfurnished apartment, you have to look through a lot of furnished apartments before finding the few unfurnished options.

  • Easy

    It is easy to search with this application. You can draw your own search area and enter several filters to find what you like. I wish it offered a history of sale prices for particular properties. The write ups by the real estate agents could be improved to indicate if the property is zoned for residence permanently, long-term rental, or short term vacation rental. But that is not the fault of the application.

  • Love looking for my new home on idealista!

    I love looking at the available homes in Portugal on idealista! So easy the way they offer filters to screen the listings by. I would love to see a couple of new filters added to narrow down what I need. 1) Year leases available 2) Pets allowed 3) 55+, 65+, 70+ building or communities If these are available in The country? Do they have retirement apts in the country Like independent, assisted etc that can be rented?
