Zoocasa is the next step in the evolution of real estate search engines. What makes it unique is the intuitive user experience – Zoocasa anticipates the questions prospective buyers will ask beyond the standard home details.

Where will my kids go to school? Where’s the closest grocery store? How close is the local gas station? Thanks to Zoocasa’s interactive maps, home buyers will find answers to all of these questions and more – all delivered in context with information on the homes they’re seeking. The result is a fully integrated home searching experience that not only provides the key housing information consumers are seeking, but gives them a much clearer grasp of what living in that specific neighbourhood is actually like.

After all, a home is so much more than a house – it’s a place to live. Using Zoocasa is the next best thing to having a personal guide for every neighbourhood in the country. It’s that intuitive and comprehensive.

In addition to home listings from across the country, at Zoocasa users will find:

Users can drill down to extremely specific searches such as book stores, bowling alleys, etc.

• Handy applications like the commuter cost calculator which will provide consumers will an approximate daily gas cost from their prospective new home to their place of work or any other location.
