I cannot figure out how to look up homes on this site,all I find is trying to look at one site instead of map and than select state.It seems the fancier they get the dumber the site.I want to look at several locations.

Well, on the top of the Realtor.com page there is a box that says Find A Home. Just put in the city, state OR zip code you are looking for.

They used to have an advanced search where you could specify details- HOMESWEET- that's probably what they are referring to.

They still don't do commercial and that would be nice.

i know it isn't the same. up until a month ago you used to be able to find alot more then you can now. now you can't find anything for under 100 grand. not much help to the person looking for something in that range.

No answer yet,nothing to do with price,Hartford county in Ct would have a dozen or more towns for you to select,towns that might have property to view.Cannot do it any more.It was nice to be able to check out Tolland and Windham County which have towns to check out various properties for sale.

One feature I DO like in the "new" realtor.com is the fact that you can search by any price, not just in 25K increments. Like, before, I'd have to search 325 to 350, then 350 to 375, etc. Now I can key in 335 to 345. I remember it used to give you the ability to search nearby towns, but you had to "select" each town. Now, it gives you the ability to search "nearby" and you have to select the radius in miles. I think I like that feature better. Other than that, there's still too much advertising and "featured home" taking up too much space at the top of each page.

ya you can search by any price over a 100 grand. not everyone is rich and can afford that. so i have to disagree with that. i liked it the way it was. now it stinks and i don't even look there anymore.

I have bookmarked several realtor searches and all of a sudden they don't work anymore. Meanwhile I'm accustomed to it. You have to make a new search but they kind of rearranged the locations so that you are unable to exactly recreate your former search. That's very annoying.

I also have a problem since several years (never before) to search for a certain number of bedrooms and baths. Whenever I try that, there's "no property matches your criteria". Search by square footage still works.

Since some weeks you also can't "go to page .." anymore. I don't know what they are thinking.
