Is the real estate market slowing down?

Compliance status

We firmly believe that the Internet should be available and accessible to everyone, and we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

To accomplish this, we aim to comply as strictly as possible with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Adhering to those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: people who are blind, people with motor disabilities, visually impaired, cognitively disabled, and more.

This website uses various technologies intended to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use an accessibility interface that allows people with specific disabilities to adjust the website's user interface (UI) and design it to their personal needs.

Furthermore, the website uses an artificial intelligence-based application that runs in the background and constantly optimizes its accessibility level. This application corrects the HTML of the website, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen readers used by blind users and for keyboard functions used by people with motor disabilities.

If you have encountered a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we would be happy to hear from you. You can contact the website operators using the following email (email protected)

Navigation with screen reader and keyboard

Our website implements the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attribute technique, along with several different behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users visiting screen readers can read, understand and enjoy the website's features. As soon as a user with a screen reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the screen reader profile in order to navigate and operate your site effectively. Below is how our website covers some of the most important screen reader requirements, along with console screenshots of code examples:

1. 
   

   Screen reader optimization: We run a background process that learns website components from top to bottom, ensuring continuous compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen readers with meaningful data using the ARIA attribute set. For example, we provide accurate form tags; actionable icon descriptions (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guide for form inputs; roles of elements such as buttons, menus, modal dialogs (popups) and others. Additionally, the background process scans all images on the website and provides an accurate and meaningful description based on image object recognition as an ALT (alternative text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts embedded in the image, using OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To activate screen reader settings at any time, users only need to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen reader users also receive automatic prompts to activate screen reader mode as soon as they enter the website.

   
   

   These settings are supported by all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the HTML of the website and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable via keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate drop-down menus with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, activate buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio elements and checkboxes using the arrow keys, and fill them with the space bar or the Enter key. Additionally, keyboard users will find quick navigation and content skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving keyboard focus to them as soon as they appear, and not allowing focus to drift away from it.

   Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headers), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported on our website

• Epilepsy Safe Mode: This profile allows people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures resulting from flickering or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
• Mode for the visually impaired: This mode adjusts the website for the comfort of users with visual disabilities such as impaired vision, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma and others.
• Cognitive disability mode: This mode provides different assistance options to help users with cognitive disabilities such as dyslexia, autism, CVA and others, focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: This mode helps users with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders read, navigate, and focus on the main elements of the website more easily, while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness mode: This mode configures the website to be compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
• Keyboard navigation profile (with engine problems): This profile allows people with motor disabilities to operate the website using the Tab, Shift+Tab keyboard and Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headers), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, Layout, and Readability Tweaks

1. Font settings – Users can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
2. Color settings – Users can select various color contrast profiles, such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color combinations of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different color options.
3. Animations – Epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Interface-controlled animations include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
4. Content Highlighting – Users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight only focused or suspended elements.
5. Audio Mute – Users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other problems due to automatic audio playback. This option allows users to mute the entire website instantly.
6. Cognitive disorders – We use a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher the meaning of phrases, initials, slang, and more.
7. Additional Features – We give users the option to change the color and size of the cursor, use a print mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other features.

Browser and assistive technology support

Our goal is to support the widest possible variety of browsers and assistive technologies, so that our users can choose the tools that best fit their needs, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise more than 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (readers of screen), both for Windows and for MAC users.

Notes, comments and opinions

Despite our best efforts to allow anyone to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or lack an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we continually improve our accessibility, add, update and improve its options and features, and develop and adopt new technologies. All this in order to achieve the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advances. For any help please contact (email protected)
