New sites for housing research

Two new websites to add to your list, if you like to look at everything in the housing arena:

1) CondoAuthority.com, which tracks condo developments in the Baltimore-Washington area. The site, started by a former head of market research at a real estate marketing firm, lets you search by area, price, number of bedrooms and the like. A search on "Baltimore" this morning brought up 27 developments.

2) ForeclosurePoint, a find-foreclosures site that says it offers more information for free than its competitors.

Seen other interesting sites? Chime in.

I've looked at foreclosurepoint. Just because there's more free information doesn't mean that it's more accurate or even AS accurate as anyone else. If you need the solid answer on a foreclosure property, your best source is searching NOD (Notice of Defaults) at the Courthouse.
