According to a recent article on CNNMoney.com, here are three Web sites that will get mortgage-shoppers started (these sites act as a referral source and borrowers will still need to close with a bank or mortgage broker).

EVANSVILLE - Vandalism to the Evansville's historic Greyhound bus station has the city making changes. City leaders are making it a priority to find a buyer who will renovate the space.  We ask officials about their plan to sell.   
"It's in pretty sad shape, but it's such a landmark, we gotta save it!" says Pam Hight as she drives by the old station.
Sixty years ago this station was bustling--a downtown transportation hub.  Today the Greyhound building is abandoned.  It shows: the ceiling's falling in, graffiti's splashed across the walls, and rust eats the outside.

Market Watch for June 2009 - 06/04/09 04:30 PM
May was a great month for real estate closings. Last month was the first time that our market had a higher dollar volume of real estate closings than the corresponding month in the previous year since late 2007. This had to happen sooner or later since May was our fourth consecutive month of increased sales. As sales continue to increase, there is a constant need to attract new listings. The number of active listings in our market has remained remarkably constant throughout this calendar year. We have not had listings at this relatively low level since 2006. As sales increase and listings stay constant the month's supply … (0 comments)
