The homebuying process is in an interesting place these days. While physically visiting and interacting with the model home and a sales associate continues to be a key part of the homebuilding experience. The internet has given the savvy homebuyer of the 21st century an excellent array of tools to help them understand their home in ways they may not have been able to before, unless they built their home themselves. One of the best of these tools is our virtual tours.
What is a Virtual Tour?
Have you ever watched a video of someone just walking around a city? Or played around with the streetview feature on google maps? If you have you’ve essentially taken a type of a virtual tour. Virtual tours allow you to view something on your tv or computer without physically going somewhere.
Why Do Homebuilders Offer Them?
While a community usually has one model home, maybe two depending on circumstances, most communities offer more floorplans than that. Virtual tours are a way that we can let you get a better sense of how your home will feel than traditional floorplan layouts might. Giving our homebuyers a greater sense of confidence in the home they’re about to buy.
How Do Virtual Tours Benefit Me?
Traditional floorplan sheets give you a bird’s eye view of your home. Allowing you to know how big each room is and where it is in the home. But when it comes to giving you a feel for the home, they can come up short for some homebuyers. Virtual tours are created with 360-degree scans of the home, giving you a human view of the home. This can allow you to better understand how the home will look, feel, and function. Whether you want to use that to show off to close friends and family. Or just make sure that the furniture you’re about to buy will actually work in the space. Virtual tours can be an important visualization tool to amplify your homebuying experience.
If you are searching for a new home, we strongly encourage you to use virtual tours if they’re available to you. We truly believe that they will elevate your home search.
