DH I decided to try and get in on the tax credit before it runs out in April. I am so excited!
Can anyone recommend websites I can use to browse listings? I've encountered a bunch that required me to sign up for something but I didn't want to do that yet. I think we're going to have to do a lot of searching because we want a single family but most of the homes in our price range are condos.
Re: looking for a HOUSE!
go to the main nest page and click "I want to live here"...it'll let you search through realtor.com
You only have to sign up if you want to save listings.
Where are you looking?
If you know some local real estate companies look up their websites. Most of them will have free listings. Also google search "your area real estate". We have a website called mycaar.com (my charlottesville area association of realtors). They list almost everything available in our area. You can also check the "real estate for sale" section of your local craigslist. Most of those are for sale by owner and may be cheaper.
Also, it's worth looking into HUD homes. Once in a while you'll find a really awesome deal. This is the site where we found our house http://www.tenmanagement.com/listings/default.do;jsessionid=176A31AF6351434B6E0B611CC9D7223E
Good luck DH and I are in the same possition.
I would try trulia or zillow.(trulia.com or zillow.com) I think zillow even has an iphone app!Zillow is nice because it shows you not only what the property is listed at, but also what it had last sold for, and what the property tax assessment says it was worth.
We had a wonderful agent in Atlanta when we were buying our house, but I was on there myself all the time looking for houses as they came on the market. GL!
We're looking for something in the Boston area. I have been checking zillow and will try out the other sites, and eventually a realtor...thanks ladies!
