Finding a Home on the Internet

June 3, 2010

deals, Internet

No no, not finding an Internet home! Rather, using the Internet to find your next home!

Back in the “olden” days (like, 10 years ago!), we used to have to rely on word of mouth or generous realtors to discover foreclosed homes. Realtors are usually not forthcoming about foreclosed homes, since these properties are usually sold at much lower prices, and the commission is smaller. I remember trying to locate some foreclosed homes when i was house-hunting, and it was nearly impossible to find anything.

But the Internet has changed everything. Now, you can go online and look for affordable housing options, and you can also search for Foreclosures online! Very cool! Search the website by location, price, bedrooms and baths, and more. Many listings have detailed information and/or photos, such as tax information, included appliances, and real state company contact information.

The Internet has made us all do-it-yourselfers! I am still amazed at how great a resource the Internet is!

    I first found this house online 10 years ago. The market was booming. Today, I’d want to use a different type of search. However, I’d want to do it online. It also helps to have a clear of picture of Must Haves, Acceptables, and No Ways.
