They just launched a network of websites dedicated to bring buyers and sellers of homes in rural towns and across the country together. The network includes one website for every state and one that includes all listings for the entire country. There is nothing like this anywhere online and this fills a very big need from both a Buyer and a Seller's perspective. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

These fruits of foreclosures hang heavy in the back pages. Distressed properties -- the growth sector of a troubled economy -- are often sold at auction. Almost $60 billion of property was auctioned last year, and the National Association of Realtors predicts about 30 percent of all real estate will be auctioned in 2010.
