I must agree with the previous posters - the old format to search for homes was easier to navigate, and I can consider myself fairly computer literate. Just my two cents.

At first, I would agree with you. Having used the new format now for many days, I am beginning to get the hang of things and now like it better than the old format. Many times a computer format change takes a while to get accustom to using. This is coming from a man who recently closed his old computer store after some thirty plus years of many changes.

Oh no, first "they" changed the rules governing our health insurance and messed us up, now "they" changed the computer format an totally confused most of us. Homeowners are at "their" mercy. What will they change next? Any suggestions?

when you click on a home you have interest in, click on "flyer" to get all of the details regarding the home, the lot, view, etc. The site has a few hiccups but in many cases it is easier to search.

I can only click on "flyer" with resales. I am unable to get "flyer" information on a new home. My home searching is completely messed up now. Please go back to the "old" format.

Agreed, there are some who just don't like change. I was in the computer industry for about 40 years though and am used to it.
