Need a house to live in? Here are 6 property marketplaces in Indonesia to jumpstart your search

In recent years, the real estate market in Indonesia has boomed rapidly, especially in big cities like Jakarta. A survey by The Urban Land Institute ranked Indonesia third in Asia Pacific for real estate investments.

For those who are interested in the country’s real estate industry or looking for a place to stay, Tech in Asia has spotted a number of online property marketplaces that have launched in the past year. Here are six of them:

1. Lamudi Indonesia

The Indonesian version of Lamudi, Rocket Internet’s real estate marketplace venture, is a relatively new player in this country. It was launched in February 2014 and has more than 2,700 listings so far. The listings in the marketplace can be searched according to property type, city, price, and other specific facilities like rooms or car spaces, making it easier for users to find the property that suit their needs.

Lamudi is now operating in more than 20 countries, including Philippines and Pakistan.

2. PropertyKita

Launched in 2009, PropertyKita is one of the largest property portals in Indonesia with more than 240,000 property listings. It monetizes from ads and does not charge any commission from successful transactions. Users can search for local agents by area or name, then contact them.

3. Rumah

Rumah, which was acquired by Singapore’s PropertyGuru in 2011, is one of the top property portals in Indonesia. By the end of 2013, the portal has seen the number of paying real estate agents grow to 6,400, and active property listings have reached 220,000. Besides listings, Rumah also provides discussion forums and property news.

Rumah has a mobile app, which is available for download on iOS, Android, and BlackBerry.
