Why Mumbai buyers shortlist on a phone
Crossing Mumbai to see a flat can take half a day once traffic and trains are counted. Buyers and tenants therefore shortlist online and visit only the few places left on the list. Photographs show corners of rooms. A 360° tour shows how the rooms connect, how wide the passage is and what is outside the window, which are the things a visit is meant to answer.
Some buyers are not in the city at all. Families buying from abroad or from another state often decide on a flat with a relative on a video call. A tour link lets them go through the flat themselves, at any hour.
