Real estate brokers have these great services that allow you to search for homes that meet your interest, save them on a list, and have houses that fit your criteria emailed to you daily I've been using these to get an idea about what's available in different neighborhoods at what cost. When I start getting close to purchase time I'll post my faves here :)

I was really excited about this prospect, online it looked very promising, particularly with the off street parking (rare in my community) and decent sized yard and rooms. But my first visit with the broker told me there was a truth about why this house wasn't selling. A river runs through it... all the time... the basement basically just has water running through it. It did sell before we had a chance to see if the seller's claim that it had been fixed was true. But we left it off the starting list by then anyway.
