  • Room for Improvement

    The concept is what is needed. Many of the functionality is great. Compared to search engines for real estate in other parts of Europe and for sure beyond, there is room for improvement.
    Search functions are a bit clumsy, detail selection is somewhat limited, especially around dates and length. Photos and video displays and sorting could use improvement. Communication from vendor and private partners is horrific by most standards.

  • mostly great

    This app helps me dream and compare prices in the areas where I am looking to buy. It saves my favourites even after I switch country and go back.

    It is annoying that you cant easily click in a point on the map and see the photos of the listing.

    The one thing I wish is that there were more specific filters. I would like to search for things like "within x km of the beach" or "new construction" so I could see fewer architect drawings or CGI houses.

  • Excellent

    A useful app that comprehensively gathers the main realty possibilities on the island. Also a good way to find out “what is out there” thus avoiding realtor and owner scams. Not every apartment costs 1200 Euro a month, and not every apartment costs 300K and up. Here you can do your homework and avoid those extra “special” prices reserved for us foreigners.

  • Property Addresses

    I am an American looking to relocate to Valencia, 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.

  • Wonderful app - very useful

    I use idealista for Azorean properties and love love love that it aggregates such disparate listings from often very small brokers to one place. The mapping feature however is terrible - saying that the property owner doesn’t want to show the location is obviously false and only reflects idealista’s lack of ability to show accurate map locations - evidenced by most linked listings having accurate maps themselves. Idealista needs to find a way to “see” and display that info. This feels however like a small complaint compared to the deep and incomparable utility the app offers.

  • Great app.

    I’d been searching online for years how to find a reliable way to search for properties in Portugal with no success. It was only on a trip to Italy that I saw the advertisement for idealista in the airport. I’m very glad that I did and since I’ve been using the app I’ve had no complaints. Pictures, locations, and descriptions of the properties allow me to window shop from home and get a better idea of where and what I would like to buy.

  • Was great, but recently messed up

    I loved this app until a recent change was made to add “pride” colors. When that happened all my previously saved searches a favorites were wiped out including correspondence history with realtors. I can’t seem to save searches or favorites now. Someone really messed this up!
  • Great to find many properties using 1 app.

    Idealista is a great app for finding multiple properties located in Portugal which doesn’t have a MLS. The only caveat I’ve seen is that some properties listed are already sold(some many months ago) and the listing agencies haven’t removed them or updated the listing. That being said, I’ve noticed while in Portugal agencies post properties on their windows that are no longer available just to get people into the office. So all in all, a great app.

  • Swap right on landing page

    One thing that would be great is to allow to swap back from the main page (chose your location/ type of house) back to where you were.
    It happened several time that I swapped left while browsing and went back to the main page - then your search is lost and you need to redo the search again. So a swap right option from the landing page would be awesome

  • Refreshes too often!

    The app is okay, but there are so many times where it refreshes while I’m using it and I lose my place in my search tab. It basically restarts the app from the home page, and I have to go back to where I was before. Many times I do not remember which one I was looking at and have to scroll through all my apartments all over again, wasting time.

    It would also be nice to be able to look up apartments you saved by their address.
