What do i type in to see homes for sale in a certain area in US?

Foreclosures?What do i type in to see homes for sale in a certain area in US?
If you are looking particularly for foreclosures in your area, check with your county clerk. You can usually get a list. Also many title companies get lists of foreclosures on a monthly basis.





A national site for foreclosures is Realtytrac, but I think you have to pay to use that site.





For foreclosed homes that had an FHA or VA mortgage, go to http://www.HUD.gov. In order to purchase one of these, you need to have a real estate agent make the offer for you, and the agent's company has to be registered.





If you are just looking for any homes, Realtor.com is OK, but it's a national site.





I would google ';town real estate'; or ';town homes for sale'; where ';town'; is the place where you want to purchase a home. Look through the list of results and find a local realtor who has a website where you can search the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). These sites usually say something like ';search the MLS'; or ';search all homes for sale';.





Then find a good agent to represent you in the transaction, especially if you have not purchased a home before. This would also be important if you want to purchase a foreclosure. In most areas there is no extra cost to you. It could be that the agent whose website you are using can help, since agents can usually show any home on the market no matter who has it listed. Also there are a number of pitfalls in purchasing a home, so it's good to have someone who will go to bat for you.





Don't call the agent who has a home listed (which you might be interest in), since that agent represents the seller and (even though they may help you) do not have your best interests at heart.What do i type in to see homes for sale in a certain area in US?
It is not strictly for foreclosed homes, they have all homes listed in MLS.

And if you need a mortgage broker, I recommend my friend, you can email him at mike@afbankloans. com


Good Luck :)
I would google ';real estate agent %26lt;city%26gt;';. Then go to the agents site and search there. They usually have the most up to date listings, and can help you find the perfect house, set up a viewing of the home, and answer your questions. Once you have a few houses in mind... USE AN AGENT. They can see alot more about houses on MLS sites than you can.
