Check the Availibilty of Properties
To help you understand what types of properties and locations are actually available in areas of your interest, simply check the current market. It is easy to have your broker inform you of current properties actively listed on the broker's database, the Multiple Listing Service, otherwise known as the MLS. Access the MLS for FREE.
Search ALL MLS Listings
Many brokers that even bother to manage the chore of offering MLS listings to their online clients, only provide a partial sample of the listings on the MLS. A simplier and less expensive way to provide access is through a broker reciprocity agreement known as IDX. This unfortunately only provides listings that brokers specifically agreed to share. If you are going to invest your time researching the market, research the entire MLS. Click HERE for FREE access to the ENTIRE MLS of northern Illinois' active listings!
