12 homes you can tour from your couch (June 17)
The demand for homes is 25 percent above prepandemic levels, according to a Redfin report, but prospective buyers have had to find new ways of attending open houses due to shelter-in-place restrictions. As a result, the popularity of 3-D tours increased 42 percent from April to May on the website.
If you are looking to buy a property but want to stay home, here are 12 must-see properties with 3-D tours — from a renovated three-bedroom Stoughton ranch for $339,000 to a custom-built four-bedroom on the beach in Swampscott for $2,699,000:
