There are over a million homes for sale at any given time.  Most national sites only have a partial or outdated listing of those homes - but they don't tell you that.  We do.  So, "property surf" on a local site with MLS access.  Our Property Search Directory contains such local sites.

Once a month we analyze the current housing market and prepare quite a few graphs on housing appreciation in different regions of the country.

Looking at property online is fun for awhile, but sooner or later you get bored and need to look at the real thing.  We suggestyou use care in hiring an agent as this is the largest purchase of your life.  Looking online is a good place to start.
