If you are like many buyers today, you will do some internet searching before you speak to a real estate agent. What is the average price in different areas of town? What type of housing is available there? What are the different areas like? Has the area been strongly affected by the foreclosure crisis? Is there much difference among the neighborhoods in an area?
