  • Good app but needs some changes

    This app is easy to navigate and I like it, but there are two major problems. They show rooms instead of bedrooms. Sometimes a four room house has one bedroom and sometimes it has up to three. The other issue is that so many properties don’t disclose their exact location. I’m looking to purchase a property close to a train station so I draw my circle around the station, but half of the houses that come up are kilometers away and not where they show on the map.

  • Overall a great way to look for houses..

    I do wish that it offered some more filter options. We specifically need a house with 5 bedrooms, but I can only choose 4+ bedrooms. So I get a lot of suggestions that is useless for me. Same goes for the pool. We want a private pool. But I get lots of communal pool options. It should be an option for a seller to list the pool as a private or communal pool. The house of the day feature is pretty useless, since it always seem to show some houses that is not in the area that I am looking as well as some very expensive properties around the country. I would appreciate if that house of the day feature was a bit more personalized.

  • It’s almost not a bad app

    Wow idealista is like the only app you can use to find homes in Spain. It’s so much easier in USA with Redfin, Zillow, etc. the developers at idealista have some catching up to do. The virtual tours would be better with a 360° photographer. Get rid of the floorplan images. Like if the post only has a computer-generated floorplan, and doesn’t have actual pictures of the place, don’t even post it! What’s the point? Am I right? Also, what’s with hiding the address of the houses for sale? They should get rid of that. Why are you worried about privacy if you’re selling the place anyway?

  • Easy to use!

    My favorite so far. I’ve tried other apps but I keep coming back “home” to Idealista. I like the map because I can clearly see the position of the supermarkets, health centers, the water, things that are important to me when purchasing a home. I also like they display community fees in some of the sales. I’ve purchased a home using this app, about to purchase another one for a friend but still looking. The only app I refer to friends. The only thing I don’t like, some of their houses are full of junk! They should demand the sellers to clean up organize their garbage before they take pictures! I don’t care how beautiful a house is, when I see accumulated garbage I don’t even stop to look! I can smell it!!! I have just upgraded to the new version. Will see how it go goes.

  • Great app, helpful for searching in Portugal

    This app is great to search for properties or get an idea of what is available and the prices in Portugal. The only down side is that many agents leave listings posted well after they are already sold, so this can be frustrating (not the app’s fault, it’s the agents). But it’s great to see what is available, prices, condition, etc. My one request would be to add an additional filter for energy rating. That’s important to us and would help filter out the properties.

  • Best real estate app for Spain

    This one incorporates all the listings of all the real estate agents. Where everybody else only list their own properties, which makes it very hard to find anything, this one posts everything that is on the market and makes it much easier for the buyer. They also update when something is sold or reduced in price, which most other websites don’t do.

  • Great selection in dreamy places

    The variety of living situation that’s offered on the site is some of the best that I’ve ever seen. There are all price ranges and locations. If you’re going to rent in Italy this is the site to start and end your search.
  • Still the best for PT real estate

    I have tried several websites and apps. Each offers a slightly different choice. This one is the most flexible with most listings. It could offer a few more filters like age of house and size of plot. Still, it does most of what you want!
  • Helpful

    It has great tools to find apartments in Spain. I used this app to find my wife and I am apartment in Bilbao. A little tip for new users: Posts that are made by real estate agencies do not write back through the app. You’re better off contacting them through their phone/website/email listed. There are people who are posting the apartment or house that are not using an agency, and usually these people get back promptly through the app.

  • Really keeps me informed

    As someone who wants to buy in Spain or Portugal once the pandemic allows us, I love being kept in the loop by this app on the real estate market. I do wish they would add to their filters items like “Sea views” and “Mountain View’s” and add actual addresses or streets so we can see on google earth where they are
