I’ve found a few very good and reliable websites for researching and finding real estate online. These websites can give you property value and market value, among other things. The Yahoo! site also breaks down demographics for the local area. I think these are valuable resources.
There are also the mainstream realty companies you can search, such as Coldwell Banker and RE/Max. Personally, I have found these to be difficult to use and they don’t always display everything in a local area.
For bargain properties, there’s Home Sales.gov (homes for sale by the U.S. government), Bargain Network.com, and Realty Trac.com.

I love looking at real estate online. In fact I have this week been looking for a home to buy. I used yahoo the most and found one I think I will really like. I get to check it out next week.
I like online house hunting because you can look at pictures and sometimes take tours. It’s handy when your moving a distance.

Hi Holly! Congrats on your decision to buy a home! I hope things go well for you. I regularly check Yahoo and Zillow to monitor property values in my area. I am amazed at how helpful the Internet has become when it comes to stuff like this!
