How Bayut’s features can help you understand market trends better
Whether you want to rent a place or buy your dream home, property-related decisions need a lot of research. As the marketing term goes, the high involvement decision requires due diligence and research via authentic sources, which can be overwhelming at times. But, there are handy tools to make your life easier. Let’s check out how Bayut’s features can help you with searching and identifying the right property.
USING BAYUT’S FEATURES TO UNDERSTAND MARKET TRENDS
Bayut strives to ensure that people have all the answers to their property search-related qualms. Whether it’s the availability of an apartment, simplification of complex market trends or identifying the average market value of a property, Bayut’s features can provide ‘easy to understand’ answers.
Let’s now look at some of the most commonly used features on Bayut that can quicken your property search process.
TRUCHECK™
TruCheck™ by Bayut guarantees that the listed property is available in the same condition as you see online. One of the main challenges in the property search process is to confirm the availability and validity of a particular listing. Trying to verify if the property is actually on the market can be an absolute waste of time. But with the help of TruCheck™, users can validate the availability of a property with a few clicks.
When you search for the desired property type on Bayut, you’d see listings with a TruCheck badge. Click on the badge and you can view the time-stamp that determines how recently the property was authenticated.
TruChecked listings get priority ranking on Bayut, which naturally means increased visibility. On the other hand, agents try their best to ensure that the badge appears on their listing(s) and you have the peace of mind that the property you viewed online is exactly what it looks like in reality.
The TruCheck™ process starts with the agent providing relevant documents to Bayut’s quality assurance team. Once documents are verified, the agent can physically visit the property and upload the latest pictures. The quality assurance team at Bayut then evaluates the information posted and a TruCheck™ badge appears if the listing passes the set criteria.
TRUVALUE™
The availability of extensive data and sophisticated algorithms empowers Bayut to develop simplified answers for complex questions. What is the actual value of a property? This question may be subjective, but the market or rental deal can be estimated using historical data. One of Bayut’s features, TruValue™, makes evaluating the value of a property an objective process.
Whether you are looking to sell or rent a property, TruValue can assist. Visit Bayut’s home page, click on the TruValue™ icon. Input the relevant information, which includes:
- Purpose
- Location
- Property type
- Number of beds and baths
- Square footage
Run the search and an estimated value of the said property will appear on your screen.
If you are a buyer or a tenant, you can get an estimate on how much you should be paying for a property. Properties can be categorised as great, fair, over-valued or highly over-valued. Hence, a major issue is resolved by using just one of Bayut’s features.
TRENDS
To understand market trends through Bayut’s features, click on the individual property listing and scroll down to the “Trends” section. Here, you will find price trends, i.e. a monthly graphic illustration of the movements in the price trends of similar properties. You can identify the general trends and make wise decisions based on the information at hand.
Jump to the average annual rent chart to further understand market trends through Bayut’s features. This graph outlines the average yearly rent and the average asking price of properties of the same bed size in the area. So, you are aware of what kind of offer you could make to the landlord or the asking price you can put in your listing.
Another tool you could use is the famous locations chart. This informs you about the popular sub-communities in the area and the percentage increase or decrease in annual rent over a specific period.
The charts provide sales price trends rather than rents if you are looking at sales listings.
