What is the American equivalent of RightMove?

I've been reading novels set in New York, where characters live in 'brownstones'. I want to browse floorplans and photos of brownstones. Plus, who doesn't love a bit of "If I won the lottery " daydreaming? Grin

I'd be interested to know. I've only ever been able to view American properties by signing up with realtor agency places and then I get inundated with emails.

Zillow

Ooh, good question!

And how are houses bought and sold in the US? Films make it look different to over here.

I tried all three of your suggestions, but it clearly doesn't work the same way as in the UK. They give all sorts of detailed info about the location, and sometimes photos, but to see floor plans you need to sign up with the estate agent (realtor).

Another difference seems to be the nature of the photos. They don't look prepped at all. They're either pristine empty rooms or as-they-come, lived-in rooms, complete with clutter, unmade beds and bicycles in the hall.

Huh? I just looked at an apartment in NY for £375,000 and it's clearly been staged though looks homely and there's a floorplan on the ad.

Trulia has floor plans.

Dilbertian · 23/07/2021 11:44

Not the ones I've seen. I'm looking specifically at brownstones. I've looked at about a dozen so far, and have only seen one with a floorplan.

Zillow. I fantasy shop houses in Malibu.

Dilbertian · 23/07/2021 12:11

That's the sort of thing I was looking at,QuestionableMouse, but I wanted more details: what's it look like on the street, furnished, etc.

Streeteasy.com has floorplans and photos, without requiring you to sell your soul to realtors.

American realtors don’t do floor plans as a general rule.

Just looked at malibu zillow and the first house was such a charming hansel and gretal style house but it said... Developers alert.. But I hope they don't turn evry charming house into a white block.
