Columbus HUD Homes

Finding the perfect home for you and your family can be very stressful and time consuming. You probably spend a lot of time in your car driving around neighborhoods to explore homes for sale.

Today we begin to introduce tools that will make your search much easier, whether you look for a Columbus HUD Home or just any piece of real estate. I assume that you receive our email newsletter and Columbus HUD Homes Maps every Friday.  If not, then take a minute and click here to register.

Let me show you how you can get a street level images of any home in Columbus.  The service is called Streetview and was developed by Google. 

Here’s the link http://maps.google.com

Last year Google introduced Streetview as part of Google Maps.  They drive all the streets of a City and take 360 degree pictures of buildings and the roadway.  Streetview is available in most major metro areas, including the City of Columbus.

Streetview images are not directly visible on our Columbus HUD Home Maps. However, if you click on the “Property Details” you get to HUD’s (NHMSI’s) property page. On this page you will find a link just beneath the picture of the HUD home called “View Map”. When you click on this text link you are redirected to standard Google Maps and you can display StreetView images by clicking on the picture in the bubble. 

Take a few minutes to explore Streetview.  We’ll cover another tool for seeing a Bird’s Eye View of a property in another post. 

Please email or call, if you need help!
