As technology evolves and improves over time, online home listings get more sophisticated. With features such as 3D home tours now available, it is now possible to view a home and go through the entire home purchase online especially with the current situation surrounding COVID-19 and the stress on social distancing. 

Here are things to take into consideration when viewing a house virtually.

3D and 360 tours can be a great alternative to give you a feeling of what it would be like to walk through a home vs. viewing just photos since photos don't give you the walk through effect.

Make sure you take a look at all of the photos and spend some time noting where there is the best natural light. Another good thing to consider when looking through the photos is how your own furniture will look in the space. 

If you’re looking at a property online that may not be quite your style or that needs some upgrades, take note of those. Overall, the home may require a lot of work which may not fit your time or budget. 

One thing that many people forget to take into consideration when viewing a home online is the outdoor space. If you are someone who loves to entertain outdoors in the summer, the outdoor space is definitely something to try to get a feel for when viewing a home virtually.
