We called on one property that was listed as having over 26 acres only to find out it had less than 1 acre.
We find that searching for property with a house and acreage that the choices for the search engine on most sites you can only choose one or the other such as 'House' or 'Land.' Unless I am wrong and am not using these sites correctly can someone tell me how to use the sites? If I am using them correctly can someone explain why I cannot find properties that include a house With acreage? This has been really hard to do any searching and I feel like we should have gained alot more from the hours and hours doing these searches and not coming up with much.

Yes - they ALL suck. however,
We sold a home with 2 acres near DFW(too slow and too low) because of how inconsistent the 'lot size' parameters work.
Took almost a year to sell (because house looked priced too high), and about 50Kcheaper than we should have gotten.
On the flip side, we bought a home with
40acres cheap! because the listing looked like it only included 1 acre and had NO viewers/interest/offers.
Bought 100K cheaper than their original listing price!
So overall, we made out!
