Type, Location and Price in Demands

How to configure the type, location, and price in a real estate demand

The parameters of property type, search area, and budget are fundamental to defining the quality and accuracy of a real estate demand. A detailed and precise configuration allows faithfully reflecting the specific needs of each client, facilitating more refined searches and data matching that optimize property selection.

In the profile of a demand within Inmovilla, the section Type, location, and price gathers these essential criteria: the real estate typologies of interest, the preferred geographic areas, the budget range for purchase or rental, as well as the flexibility margin accepted by the client.

Contents of the Type, Location and Price section

This section concentrates the key requirements of anyone interested in acquiring or renting a property. When consulting an already registered demand, it is possible to quickly and clearly identify:

• • Selected typologies, presented through visual tags or capsules.

• • Search areas, which can be city, municipality, district, or neighbourhood, depending on the required level of specificity.

• • Minimum and maximum price established for purchase.

• • Price deviation, expressed as a percentage to reflect budget flexibility.

• • Special conditions, such as demands that only accept transfers or bare ownership.

• • Rental budget and its temporal modality.

Additionally, the profile permanently displays the client’s general information on the left side during navigation through the different sections, making it easier to review the context without losing sight of the data being configured.

This section clearly and orderly integrates the criteria of property, area, and budget for efficient demand management.

Access and editing of demand criteria

To modify the information related to type, location, and price, access Demands from the sidebar, select the corresponding demand, and go to the Type, location and price tab. In view mode, you can see the current data; by activating edit mode, the fields will be available to add, remove, or adjust the conditions according to the client’s instructions.

1. • Open the complete list of demands.

2. • Select the client profile you want to update.

3. • Access the Type, location and price tab.

4. • Activate the edit option to modify the fields.

5. • Review and adjust typology, search area, price range, and specific conditions.

6. • Save the changes after confirming they faithfully reflect the client’s preferences.

It is advisable to review this section whenever there are changes in the client’s priorities or needs. For example, a demand initially oriented to purchase may evolve to include rental options, new areas, or greater budget tolerance.

Precise definition of property typology

The typology specifies the type of property the client is looking for. It may be a single option or several compatible typologies that fit their needs and preferences.

Available options include properties such as apartment, penthouse, duplex, or chalet. These options are organised into groups to facilitate a clear and structured classification of the search.

Available typology groups

• • Flat

• • House or chalet

• • Rustic house

• • Commercial premises

• • Office

It is essential to select only the groups and types that the client truly values. Marking too many options can dilute the search and generate less relevant results, while restricting the selection too much may exclude suitable alternatives.

Example of optimal selection

If a client is looking for housing and is open to an apartment, penthouse, or duplex, it is advisable to register all three typologies to broaden possibilities without losing focus. Conversely, if independent houses are explicitly ruled out, it is not recommended to include chalets just to increase the number of results.

Selection of the search area

The location defines the geographic scope in which properties are to be found. The search area tool allows working directly on an interactive map to select the most appropriate geographic level according to the available information and client preferences.

You can add a specific area by searching by name and choosing the corresponding area type:

• • Municipality, when the demand covers an entire locality.

• • District, to delimit a specific part within a city.

• • Neighbourhood, for a more segmented and specific preference.

For example, a demand may cover the entire city of Madrid or be limited to a municipality such as Toledo. The choice should always respond to the level of precision and detail indicated by the client.

The interactive map is a key tool to visually verify the geographic perimeter defined in the demand, ensuring its accuracy.

Best practices for configuring locations

• • Always check if the area is a mandatory requirement or if there are acceptable alternative areas for the client.

• • Clearly differentiate between searching in an entire city or in specific districts or neighbourhoods that are truly of interest.

• • Add multiple areas when the client has equivalent options to broaden possibilities.

• • Avoid selecting areas by proximity without express confirmation to prevent irrelevant searches.

• • Carefully review the map before saving to ensure the selected area matches the client’s preferences.

Setting the purchase price

The purchase budget is configured through a minimum and a maximum amount, establishing a clear range that serves as a reference to locate properties compatible with the client’s expectations.

Additionally, there is a field to define a percentage deviation, which reflects the client’s flexibility to consider properties that may slightly exceed the established maximum budget, always within a reasonable margin.

Practical example of budget with deviation

A client may state that they do not want to exceed €250,000 but are willing to consider opportunities close to €280,000. In this case, the price range along with the deviation allow reflecting both the desired limit and the real flexibility, facilitating a more adjusted and efficient search.

This parameter is especially relevant in the processes of matching demands and properties, as it allows considering properties that, although slightly exceeding the range, may be suitable for the demand.

Special conditions in purchase

Besides the economic range, it is possible to activate specific preferences for demands seeking particular modalities:

• • Transfers only, for clients interested exclusively in properties or businesses under this modality.

• • Bare ownership only, for demands focused exclusively on this form of acquisition.

These filters should only be activated if they are strict requirements, as incorrect use may unnecessarily limit the search and discard valid options for the client.

Configuration of rental price and type

In the same section, it is possible to register specific criteria for rental, defining a minimum amount, maximum amount, and a percentage deviation to reflect the client’s flexibility.

Likewise, the type of rental that best suits the duration and modality required by the client can be selected, with options such as:

• • Monthly rental.

• • Biweekly rental.

• • Weekend rental.

• • Daily rental.

• • Weekly rental.

• • Monthly rental for students.

• • Seasonal monthly rental.

This detail is crucial, as two properties with similar prices may not be comparable if one is oriented to long stays and the other to holiday or temporary rentals.

Common mistakes when completing a real estate demand

Setting an excessively rigid budget

Limiting the demand to a closed maximum budget may exclude options that the client could value if they have superior characteristics. It is essential to confirm the real flexibility margin before defining the deviation.

Confusing preferred area with mandatory area

An ideal neighbourhood is not always an exclusive requirement. If the client is open to other areas, these must be explicitly included to avoid overly restrictive searches.

Selecting incompatible or irrelevant typologies

Including multiple property types without validating preferences can generate scattered and unhelpful results. Diversity is positive only when each option is truly acceptable for the demand.

Forgetting to define the rental modality

In cases of temporary rental, for students or short duration, it is essential to specify the rental modality, as price alone does not adequately reflect the needs.

Activating transfer or bare ownership filters without confirmation

These conditions significantly modify the scope of the search and should be used as strict filters, not as generic options to broaden results.

Checklist for review before saving

• • Do the selected typologies match the alternatives accepted by the client?

• • Does the search area include all relevant municipalities, districts, or neighbourhoods?

• • Does the price range faithfully represent the client’s real budget?

• • Is the deviation justified and correctly expressed as a percentage?

• • Have the transfers only or bare ownership only filters been activated only when appropriate?

• • Does the selected rental type match the duration and modality required by the demand?

• • Have the changes been saved after a thorough review of all fields?

Conclusion

A precise and detailed configuration of type, location, and price transforms a real estate demand into a highly effective and personalised search criterion. The key lies in accurately capturing the essential preferences, reflecting the real budget flexibility, and clearly distinguishing between essential requirements and acceptable alternatives.

A well-prepared profile not only improves the accuracy of searches and matches but also optimises the client experience, ensuring that the options presented faithfully fit their needs, both in purchase and rental operations.
