Almost all of them are also refreshed every 15 minutes. That means you get pretty much up to the date information on properties that come on the market almost every hour. The Area Scout feature in Reator.com also lets you view average values in specific areas so you know exactly what you can expect to pay and what you can expect to sell for.</p> <p>If you want the most up to date MLS listing in the most areas of the United States, look no further than Realtor.com</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="

One of the unique features of Redfin is that you can view a lot of information on a home that you can't anywhere else, such as agent insights. If a realtor leaves notes on a home, you'll be able to see them. Redfin also pulls in about 20% more agent listed properties than any other real estate app available.</p> <p>If Redfin is available in your area, you'll definitely want it in your home buying app collection.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="

Mortgage Calculator and Mortgage Rates by Realtor.com lets you input your income and other information and then lets you know what you can reasonably afford. You can also grab mortgage rates from many different sources all in one place.</p> <p>If you're shopping around for mortgage rates and need to figure out what you can afford, check out Mortgage Calculator and Mortgage Rates by Realtor.com.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="

A lot of realtors will even ask for a pre-approval letter from a bank before they will begin showing you homes. Credit Karma is a great tool that's available for free and can give you an estimated score that's provided by TransUnion, as well as an overview of how your score was calculated. What a bank sees may be a little different but the general consensus has been that Credit Karma is fairly accurate and generally within a few points. I pulled my own credit and then checked with my bank and both were within 10 points of each other.</p> <p>If you need financing, you need Credit Karma.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="

Instead of searching in your area and then going to look at houses, if you see a house for sale that interests you, Homesnap can tell you all about it. You can see at a quick glance basic details such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. Homesnap also provides a range in which it thinks the property will most likely sell for to help you gauge whether you are underpaying or overpaying. Homesnap also gives a score of how well that property could produce cash flow for investors.</p> <p>If you're looking for a quick and easy way to find information on any property for investment purposes, do it with a single photo via Homesnap.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="
