New Online Home Appraisal Tool .

“... The launch of Zoopraisals™ addresses one of our most requested features,” said Butch Langlois, President of Zoocasa. “Knowing the current price of your home is the kick-off point for many Canadians as they consider making their next move.”

This free service is provided through a licencing agreement with Centract Settlement Services. “Centract possesses one of the largest national databases of residential real estate prices and information in Canada,” said Rob Soja, Vice President of Business Development at Centract. "We’re really excited to be working with Zoocasa to provide home price estimates to Canadian consumers nationally.”

Consumers who use the tool can expect “An indication of a home’s price ...based on like properties in their neighbourhood. It also provides additional content from the Zoocasa database and its content partnerships including detailed neighborhood demographics.”

In the latest move, demonstrating the tremendous presence of the Internet in all things housing and real estate, real estate search site Zoocasa has released a tool for consumers to get online home price estimates- called the Zoopraisal service.


What this does underscore is the importance of one-stop shopping for busy consumers. Statistics suggest that upwards of 80% of real estate searches at least begin- or have some part taking place on the internet.

Demand for immediate access for full, comprehensive information- especially as it pertains to housing is increasing as well.

“Zoopraisal™ is just the newest in a long line of new tools and services to support consumers in their home search process,” said Mr. Langlois. “Consumers are spending an average of 11 months in their home search process, predominantly online, and Zoocasa wants to support these consumers and allow them to conveniently connect with real estate professionals across the entire process including realtors, mortgage lenders or other such experts.”
