Condo Search Update
I found more and cool Google Earth addons to help with my searh for condos. :)First one is the addition of condos listing from Groupe Sutton. Now I can see Remax and Sutton listing on the Island of Montreal with Google Earth. It's Pretty neat!
Also, since I'm looking for a home that is walking distance from a metro station....I figured I should check if anyone made an addon for subway stations for Montreal...and someone actually did one here!
I now can view all condo listings from Remax and Sutton with all the metro stations exits on the island of Montreal. Now that's cool! ;) Here's a screenshot:

This helps me plenty because I also search for condos with MLS.ca. When i find certain places I find interesting, I can verify if it's very close or not to a Metro station.

Condo Hunting!
As you all may have noticed, these days are quite insanely busy for me. The blog posts number here has fallen and my free time is very limited. If you don't know yet, I'm hunting for a condo in Montreal!!!This is an extremely exciting time in my life, and I am really looking forward having my very own place i can call home!
And being tech oriented as I am....I am using the different tools to find a place. :-)
One of my favorite is Remax's integration with Google Earth! I can have an aerial view at the neighborhoods and properties that interest me a lot. All I simply have to do is rollover on the remax signs to see the price and click on the sign to get more information on the property.

Although, only remax properties are displayed....it would be very awesome if all the properties were shown on Google Earth. I find this a great alternative way of searching for properties especially if you are looking for specific locations.
For the past weekends, I have visited many condos / lofts under development. Some are really really really nice......however, all of them end up to be too expensive for a 4 1/2. But it's all good ...the more I search, the more my needs become specific.

This week, I'm hoping to visit my first set of condos with my real estate agent. We have found quite a few that have caught my eye. I can't wait to visit :)
