What is the best way to search for homes in Colombo?

"Expats searching for homes in Colombo often begin by browsing online property listings on websites such as LankaPropertyWeb, Lamudi, and Ikman. They may also join expat forums and social media groups to seek advice and recommendations from fellow expats who have experience in the local housing market. Additionally, expats can engage the services of a local real estate agent who is familiar with the area and can help them find a suitable home. Word of mouth and networking with friends, colleagues, and acquaintances can also be helpful in finding housing options. Visiting neighborhoods of interest and looking for "For Rent" or "For Sale" signs can also be a useful strategy for finding a home in Colombo," remarked another expat in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
