Five Ways To Find Your Next Kentucky House On Black Friday

November 25, 2011

By John Day

Today is notoriously one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Special store hours and insanely good bargains bring the masses out for just about anything. A big name chain pharmacy located right beside our Lexington office is even getting in on the deals!

As the retail and department stores move towards offering additional online exclusive deals, we at Milestone wanted to remind you about how efficient our online search tools are. In between bargain hunting and untagging those embarrassing photos of stuffing your face at the Thanksgiving table, be sure to check out MilestoneKY.com. If you’re in the market for a Kentucky house or just thinking about looking, it really couldn’t be easier.

1. Property Search – The most basic of our search tools, this is the gold standard in searching for a home. With all of your basic fields such as bedrooms, bath, square footage and price – you start with a blank page and slowly get to narrow down to your ideal home. Be sure to sign up for a customer account which gives you access to saving your favorite homes and saving custom searches.

Map Search

2. Map Search – A very powerful tool, the Map search allows you to create your own boundaries for where you’d like to live. Click the red Draw New Polygon button in the top left above the map and then left click in the area you’d like to create a shape. As you add more points, the red area on the map you’re creating will begin to fill with homes for sale. Whenever you’re done, just make sure to close the shape by clicking where you started. From there you can click on the houses within the shape(s) or click on the the List View tab above your map to see the homes in a detailed list.

3. Lifestyle Search – Our newest home searching tool, Lifestyle Search is ideal for those not particularly familiar with the area. Using the sliders to rank various lifestyle requirements from lowest to highest, we can recommend a neighborhood, zip code or census area. From there it’s simple to view community data, demographic information and actual homes for sale. Golfing, Shopping, Health & Safety and Population Density are just a few of the major filters you can create.

4. Proximity Search – If you know a major landmark or business that you need to live by, Proximity Search is perfect for you. Paired with some basic search filters, Proximity Search allows you to select points of interest such as the University of Kentucky in Lexington or Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Georgetown and then find homes within a set radius.

5. Mobile Search – Our Mobile Search is also a powerful tool for those on the go. SmartPhone ready, including iPhone and Android, this search tool uses your phone’s GPS to find homes near you. Built to function as an app, various predefined search terms are at your fingertips giving you access to thousands of homes at any time. The same basic search tools from our Property Search is also available for those who really want to narrow down their options. Simply visit our regular website with your web ready SmartPhone to take advantage of this tool.
