Curbed posted a list of national real estate search engines that we hope you'll find helpful. Listed alphabetically:
· Estately—the school search function lets you type in the name of a school and it will only return properties that are in those boundaries.
· Homesdatabase—This site is linked directly to local Multiple Listing Service and has the most up-to-date price information.
· Hometryst—Has some of the best picture presentation out there.
· Hotpads—This entirely map-based site lists both rental and for sale properties.
· Realtor.com—Their iPad app has a neat draw function where you use your finger to draw the area on the map where you want to live and it returns only homes in that circle.
· Redfin—If you use one of their agents (and abide by the fine print) part of the commission gets returned to you.
· Sawbuck—Their new iPhone app will tell you all the info about a house just by taking a picture of it and uploading it to the app.
· Trulia—This site has crime data for many of the neighborhoods in its database
· Zillow— This site offers an estimate for the price of each home, which is always a hot topic for debate. They also publish how accurate this 'Zestimate' is when the final sale price comes in and for the DC area they are usually around 7%.
