What area are you interested in? Can't really help you here but I'm curious.

Looking into some real estate myself but not for awhile unless I hit the jackpot in the market.

Is there not a multiple-listing service where you are located? A website that aggregates all listings from all realtors?

Or you can try an MLS search Every city has an MLS listing and almost all homes listed with a realtor are on MLS. Just Google MLS + city/area or you can start here - http://www.mls.com

This, in most markets, is a woefully inadequate means of determining what's actually on the market. It aggregates data from non-mls sites for the most part.

As much as I hate to say it, realtor.com is probably the most reliable.

I like redfin.com, but it has very limited coverage (only a few cities so far).
