Default Favorite Real Estate Browsing Sites

I'm currently using homes.com and the preowned section of The Villages website to peruse homes for sale. I like homes.com because it often shows the taxes and an aerial view of the home (with their appraised values) in the neighborhood. The Villages homes are nice if they have the panoramic views.

What are YOUR favorite sites?

Thanks!

If you use Mozilla Firefox as a browser, install the "map this" add on, just highlight any address in any listing, right click and select map this and it takes you to a great map. I even use it on the Villages site as I don't like there new maps.

the best site in my opinion - provides number of days on market as well as a history of pricing/changes from the day listed...also provides links to tax offices. the site is chock full of info about the villages!

Another vote for Lyle Gant. I looked at his site for years. When it came time for us to buy a resle we used Lyle. He is a real gentleman and went way beyond the call of duty for us. So professional, yet easy going. Went to bat for us with the home warranty company and saved us a bundle.
