I do the same thing as you, speedingbullet. Amazingly it works really well and after a while you really get a feeling for the market.

I’ve worked with Realtors before and, in my opinion, they’re a real pain in the *ss. They just want you to decide on a home and buy within 30 days. They love to do that to vulnerable people who know nothing about real-estate.

Since we are looking years down the road, Ziprealty is the best way to do it. When I decide to buy, I’ll just schedule a showing with with ziprealty and I’ll buy from them.

I remember the days when you had to depend on Realtors to access the data (or the days you needed a travel agent).

I think that this crash will happen much quicker thanks to how fast technology desseminates info to the public.
