Home Searching: What Is The Best Website To Use?

If you are a serious buyer in the Windsor real estate market or even if you are just window shopping for homes, you might have realized while searching for Windsor homes for sale that there are websites on top of websites available to search and go through. A cursory search of houses for sale in Windsor, Ontario into Google will bring pages and pages of results. You’ll have websites for individual brokerages, you’re on one right now! You’ll have websites for individual Windsor real estate agents. Your Windsor REALTOR® might have one themselves. Then you have a website like realtor.ca, which has no affiliation to any one specific brokerage, agent, etc. So which one is the right one?

The answer might surprise you, the answer is (almost) any of them. Almost every website you see out there will compile and use the same information. Unlike the United States, where real estate boards no longer own/control MLS data, The Multiple Listing Service® or MLS® is used across Canada. This means that regardless of what website you are on, you have access to ALL of the listings on the market. You won’t miss anything, nothing is hidden. If the home is listed, you can see it and all the accompanying information.

So let’s go back to the question, what website should you use? We’ve worked hard to create a smooth and easy browsing experience, give it a try here!
