Check out some of the shows on HGTV... that way you can be spending more time with Bdog (who will be needing it for at least 2-3 months... intensive training, that is) and check out
www.zillow.com on your computer. It's free, and it gives the most info on homes, their prices, what they last sold for and when, values of surrounding homes in the neighborhood, similar homes for sale in the area, what they last sold for and when, and some have 360 surround walk thru tours, most have pics. You can view homes throughout the USA, including Hawaii, (I didn't try Alaska or overseas). I use this site before even beginning to drive around looking. Saves gas, and keeps you from getting ripped off.
