On topic… No, but a conversation I had with my sister today got me thinking about the real estate market and my future home buying plans. As a military family, we really haven’t decided where we plan to end up after my wife’s career in the military is over (She’ll retire at 38, can you believe it!), but it does make me wonder how I’m going to go about looking once we’ve decided where we plan to live the rest of our lives.

As a completely rhetorical thought, say we decided that New York City was our destination of choice. (It won’t be. I don’t think my cowboy boots fit in all that well there…) assuming we’re stationed in California, how am I supposed to get valid and current information on Bronx Real Estate?

I’d use the Internet, of course.  The problem then becomes; which one of the thousands of real estate sites am I going to use?  For me the choice is pretty simple.  If I’m looking for Homes for Sale, I’ll check RealEstateBook.com  first.  Why?  Because I’ve used their magazine in the past to locate apartments and rentals.  I’ve come to trust them, and I take a look there first, then pick a Realtor.

Just my two cents kiddies.  I hope my sister’s house hunting goes well.
