Why do you ask nongoverment?? You will not find more of a Libertarian than me but the houseing market is one area that the goverment does need to steep in.

The bank are not selling these homes since they know it will flood the market and drop prices even more so the list are hard to get or they are just holding.

Lot of bad news and yet so many have there head in the sand.

As you know there is a lot of hidden information , to tell the truth this is fraud by omission since they are with holding information that is affecting the market by messing with the prices.

This type of fraud is what caused this mess, check out this web site it tell how they made the now crashing houseing bubble.

What is needed is a open and publicly assailable" search able web site" That is mandatory and ran by the country assessor office.
Then and only then will you have an open honest and transparent property market.

Need to be more specific. Are you looking to purchase or are you about to get forclosed on.

Different bank and mortgage companies list their REOs on their website. Indymac, fannie mae, freddie mac all do it. HUD.gov is a good site for government foreclosures. The best way to find them is to call the county courthouse where you want to buy and ask where they post the listings. Some do it online, others in a local newspaper.
