I've been searching TV, FSBO and MLS Listings for awhile now and I'm finding it very frustrating.

Except for Lyle Grant, none of the websites offer enough search criteria to narrow down the search to a reasonable number of prospects.

I'm looking for a CBS Designer/Villa with a Golf Course/Waterfront view built in/after 2005.

The Villages website is the worst - ony criteria that's worthwhile is Price and Bedrooms/Bathrooms. Currently that brings up 28 pages (168 listings).

Lyle's website offers a link to homes with privacy and I can sort by year built = at least that reduces the number significantly.

Does anyone know of a better way of doing this? I'm hoping to come in March and I will be contacting realtors, but want to have done my homework prior to that.
