Home Buying & Repair - Favorite Links

If you are looking to buy a home in the U.S., I've done quite a bit of research recently that might help you.

1. The most up-to-date site realtors use is Realtor.com

2. A site that gives estimates of home values and includes some for sale by owner listings is Zillow.com

3. Neighborhood crime and safety is important to look into when buying a house as well. Trulia.com will let you know about the crime levels around a particular house.

4.  To find out city information USA.com has some helpful statistics.

5. I found a lot of helpful information about issues with houses on one site (like old houses, inspection, life expectancy for things in the home, electricity, etc., etc.)
Some information is just for Florida, but much of it is not.  http://www.mcgarryandmadsen.com/inspection/Blog/Blog.html

6.  There are 3 cost estimating sites for things that might need fixing in a house that I found very helpful.
