Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful tool that’s revolutionizing the real estate industry. It refers to the computer simulation of three-dimensional environments that can be interacted with by a person. Here are three key applications of VR in the real estate industry.

VIRTUAL PROPERTY TOU RS. VR can be used to allow people to virtually tour countless properties from one location. By simply putting on a VR headset, you’ll be able to experience immersive, 3D walkthroughs of dozens of properties so you can decide which ones are worth visiting in person.

VIRTUAL HOME STAGING. Studies show that furnished homes sell better than unfurnished ones, but investing in furniture and decor for staging an empty house is costly. Using VR tech nology allows you to experience what a property will look like when it’s completely furnished.

VR ARCHITECTU RAL VISUALIZATION. VR can also be used to market properties that haven’t been built yet, such as new condo developments. With VR tours, interested buyers can see what the homes will eventually look like.

VR in real estate is a game changer for buyers and agents alike. For buyers, it saves time and allows them to browse for homes across great distances. For real estate agents, VR tools pay off in terms of heightened global outreach, increased sales and more satisfied clients. It’s predicted that VR will become commonly used in the real estate business in the years to come.

ASSESSING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF A HOUSE Square footage refers to the total area of living space within a home. However, there isn’t a nationwide standard for measuring the square footage of residential properties. If you want to buy a house, here are a few things to consider when assessing a property’s size. What’s excluded In most cases, basements and other underground spaces don’t count toward the square footage. Here are some other areas of a house that might not be included: • Porches, sunrooms, garages and other spaces that aren’t enclosed or heated by the same system as the rest of the house • Insulated attics that have a ceiling height of less than seven feet and can only be accessed by a ladder • Bathrooms, hallways, staircases and/or closets, depending on the market

• Guesthouses, pool houses and other structures that can only be accessed by exiting the main dwelling Furthermore, square footage is often based on measurements of the exterior walls rather than the size of interior spaces. What to look for Since there isn’t a standard for calculating square footage, you should avoid relying solely on this measurement to compare the price of different homes. Instead, focus on whether the layout is functional and suits the needs of your family. Afterall, factors like a main-floor bedroom, ample storage space and an open-concept floor plan aren’t reflected in a home’s square footage.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU INHERIT A HOUSE If you inherit a house, there are different tax implications and financial responsibilities to consider depending on what you do with the property. Here’s a look at your options and their associated costs. Move in If you want to live in the inherited home, you’ll need to assume the cost of property taxes, upkeep and insurance. You might also have to take over mortgage payments, depending on the loan terms. If you sell the property later and it was your primary residence for at least two of the five years before the sale, you won’t need to pay capital gains tax.

While any profit from the sale will be subject to capital gains tax, this is often the simplest course of action if the property has more than one heir. You’ll also be free from the legal and financial responsibilities of owning the property. Keep in mind the costs associated with selling a home including real estate agent fees, closing costs and renovation expenses. If you’re having trouble deciding what to do with your inherited property, a trusted local real estate agent can help you assess the market and determine the best course of action.

Rent it Depending on the house’s location, it can be a good source of passive income. Keep in mind the cost of landlord insurance and maintenance. Additionally, be sure to check municipal regulations for short- and long-term rentals before you make a decision. The biggest downside to renting out your inherited property is that you’ll be subject to capital gains tax if you sell it, since the property wasn’t being used as your primary residence. Sell it

3 HOME BUYING TIPS FOR MILITARY FAMILIES If you or your spouse serve in the military, here are a few tips that can help you buy a home and put down roots, even if it’s just for a few years.

stand out. You should also opt for a home with timeless features rather than extensive customization to ensure it appeals to a wide variety of buyers.

1. Take advantage of incentives The Department of Veterans Affairs offers several home loan programs intended to help service members buy a house without a down payment or by securing a mortgage with a low interest rate. Plus, many home improvement companies such as landscapers and interior designers offer discounts for service members and veterans.

3. Look for places to connect It can be hard to start over in a new city, especially if you have children. To facilitate the transition, seek neighborhoods with plenty of gathering places and amenities that bring people together such as public pools, community gardens, dog parks and outdoor fitness classes. These spaces also provide great opportunities for quality family time.

2. Think about resale value Since you’ll likely need to relocate again soon, try to avoid neighborhoods with a high turnover rate. Too many houses on the market in your area will make it hard for yours to

Finally, since you’re likely moving to an unfamiliar city, consult with a real estate agent who has extensive knowledge of the area and can help you find a property that meets your needs.

5 MUSTS OF BUYING A HOUSE SIGHT UNSEEN

If you’re considering bidding on a property without first seeing it for yourself, you should take precautions. Here are five things you need in order to minimize your risk if you want to buy a house sight unseen. 1. A reliable realtor If you can’t visit the house yourself, you’ll need to rely on a real estate agent to assess the property on your behalf. Take the time to find someone you trust and who knows the market well. 2. A concrete wish list Without an in-person impression to tell you if the house feels right, you need a clear and detailed list of what you want in a home, from the floorplan to the finishes. 3. A live video walk-through Schedule a video chat with your realtor

at the house so you can ask about creaky floors, dampness, odors, signs of wear and other features that don’t show up in photos. 4. A general idea of the area Use Google Street View to scope out the neighborhood. Also make sure to research local schools, public transit and other amenities. 5. A full home inspection A thorough assessment provided by a reputable professional is crucial if you want to buy a house sight unseen. Make sure to add a contingency clause to your offer if you plan to make your bid before the inspection.
