In Singapore, selecting a house using a virtual tour is becoming increasingly popular, especially with the convenience of technology and the busy pace of life. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you select a house in Singapore using a virtual tour:

### 1. **Use Local Real Estate Websites**
Several major real estate platforms in Singapore feature listings with virtual tours or 3D walkthroughs:

- **PropertyGuru**: One of Singapore's largest property platforms. It often includes 360-degree virtual tours, photos, and videos in its listings.
- **99.co**: This website has a variety of listings, and some agents provide virtual tours for their properties.
- **EdgeProp**: Offers virtual tours for selected listings, along with detailed photos and floor plans.
- **SRX Property**: Similar to the others, SRX offers virtual tours and digital viewing options for some of its properties.

### 2. **Look for Listings with Virtual Tours**
- **Filter Search Results**: On these websites, you can filter search results by properties with virtual tours or 3D walkthroughs.
- **Search for Specific Types of Properties**: Whether you're interested in condos, landed homes, or HDB flats, look for specific options that show virtual tours. Sometimes, this may be indicated with an icon like a "360" or "virtual tour" label.

### 3. **Check for Interactive 3D Tours or 360° Views**
- **3D Walkthroughs**: Some listings feature 3D models where you can “walk through” the house or apartment. This is a great way to get an immersive feel for the space.
- **360° Photos**: Other listings might feature interactive 360° photos of each room, where you can scroll and explore every angle of the space.
- **Virtual Staging**: Some agents use virtual staging to furnish empty homes. This can help you visualize how the property would look when fully furnished.

### 4. **Make Use of Property Apps**
Many property apps in Singapore also provide virtual tour features:
- **PropNex**: One of the leading real estate agencies in Singapore that provides virtual viewings and tours through its app.
- **OrangeTee & Tie**: Another real estate platform offering virtual tours and videos.

### 5. **Request a Live Virtual Tour**
If the property you're interested in doesn’t have a pre-recorded virtual tour, you can request a live virtual tour. Many real estate agents are happy to conduct a video call with you (via Zoom, WhatsApp, or Google Meet), guiding you through the property in real-time.

### 6. **Explore Floor Plans and Interactive Tools**
- **Download or Request Floor Plans**: Even if a property has a virtual tour, a detailed floor plan will help you better understand the layout. Websites often provide downloadable floor plans or interactive tools where you can compare space measurements.
- **Use Measurement Tools**: Some platforms also have online tools that allow you to measure room sizes using the floor plan or even the 360° virtual tour.

### 7. **Evaluate Key Features of the Property**
When going through a virtual tour, here are the important features to look for:
- **Layout & Flow**: How do the rooms connect? Does the layout meet your needs in terms of space and functionality?
- **Lighting & View**: How well-lit are the rooms? What’s the view like from windows and balconies?
- **Condition**: Check for any signs of wear and tear, and ensure that the property appears well-maintained.
- **Neighborhood & Amenities**: Some tours may show external views of the neighborhood, like the nearby MRT stations, malls, or parks.

### 8. **Read Reviews and Agent Feedback**
- **Agent Insights**: Often, listings with virtual tours will also include comments or insights from the listing agent. These may include things like the age of the property, recent renovations, or any other relevant details that might not be immediately obvious from the tour.
- **Social Media and Forums**: Some platforms like Facebook groups or property forums (e.g., Si Read More

Do you mean that the listing for sale or rent is ready for physical viewing but you like to decide based on virtual tour?

Since we have gotten out of covid, it is highly advisable to visit the physical property for inspection before making your decision, especially when there is plenty of scams ongoing.
