This application connects property hunters with owners, agents and builders, as well as provides advanced search, property comparison and location-based searches.

Such platforms generally facilitate property listing with photographs and videos, map-based search, budget and preference filters, direct inquiry or chat features, and user dashboards. From a business side, there is an admin panel for listings, approvals, agents, analytics and monetization.

At Mayankal Technologies, we develop robust and white label real estate applications that are mirrors to services such as Housing for local level, regional or multi-national property markets. Our products are built for speed, scalability and a great user experience.

Major Factors that can affect development Cost

Supporting different types of properties, like Residential, Commercial, Rental and Plot will lead to back end logic development, database constructs, UI screens and test logistics, which have a  direct bearing on total development time / cost.

Building the app for Android is cheaper in comparison to including iOS and web platforms, applying additional UI modifications, platform-specific testing and performance optimization which make development efforts and budget higher.

Sophisticated search filters (budget, location radius, amenities and property type) need atomic queries and backend logic to be developed which increases the complexity of development and tuning the performance.

A custom user interface, premium layouts, animations and richer visuals take more rounds of design iterations and front-end development time to produce which increases the costs in design and implementation.

Integrations like maps, chat systems, analytics tools, payment gateways and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) services add up configuration + security validation + testing bringing in complexity and cost.

Apps processing millions of properties and thousands of users each day need scalable cloud infrastructure, efficient handling of data, load balancing etc This means greater upfront costs for stability in the future.
