Questions about Search Basic
How the search works
How does the basic home search work?
You build a search with filters, see a live count of matches, then show the results. You can narrow by place, price, home features, size and age. You can also save a search and get alerts, jump to one address or paste one or more of our listing numbers.
Does the search show how many homes match before I open the results?
Yes. The page shows a live count of matches as you set filters, so you can see right away if a filter is too tight or too loose. If the count drops to zero, loosen one filter at a time, for example the price or the area.
Can I jump straight to one address or listing number?
Yes. The page has an option to go straight to a home by address, and another where you can paste one or many of our listing numbers. That is handy when someone sends you a home and you want it without setting filters.
What is the difference between Basic, Advanced and Premium search?
Basic covers the fundamentals every search starts with, such as place, price and home features. Advanced goes into every detail of the home itself. Premium adds data most sites do not have, such as the data tools. Start with Basic and add detail as you narrow.
Where does the listing data in the search come from?
Homes come from our listing data, and the data tools draw on public sources that each tool's page names. Listing details can change quickly, so confirm anything important before you make a decision. Our listing data refreshes continuously.
How do I narrow my search with the data tools?
Use the Premium search to set limits before you look at homes, such as a school rating floor, a flood zone to filter out, an HOA dues ceiling and the combined tax rate. Then only homes that pass show. Tools are free, and many need free registration.
What should I do if my search shows too few homes?
Loosen one filter at a time, since each one trims the list. Widen the area, raise the maximum price or drop a minimum such as garage spaces. Remember that data filters like HOA or flood limits cut results too. Talk to us if you want help deciding which filters to relax.
Do I need to register to use the home search?
Basic browsing is open, but many of our tools need free registration, and saving a search and getting alerts goes with registering. You register once and keep your searches, instead of rebuilding filters every visit.
Can the search help me find new construction?
Yes. You can choose new construction as a property type, or use the new construction filter to show only new homes or only older ones. Whichever you pick, our data tools can still be applied, so you can check the same limits on schools, flood and HOA dues.
Where
What location options can I search by?
You can pick any mix of counties, cities, ZIP codes and subdivisions. Type inside a list to find a name. Mixing is useful when you are open to several areas, such as two cities and a subdivision you like in a third.
Price & home
What home features can I filter by?
You can set a price range and choose a property type such as detached house, townhouse, condo, multi-unit, land or new construction. You can also require a minimum of bedrooms, full baths, half baths and garage spaces. You can include or exclude new construction as well.
Why does the search start on single-family homes?
The page shows single-family as the starting property type, so results focus there at first. If you want townhomes, condos, land or other types, change the property type filter. Check it when your results look narrower than you expected.
Size, age & pools
Can I filter by size, lot, age, stories and pools?
Yes. You can set minimum and maximum living area and lot size in acres, choose oldest and newest year built, pick the number of stories, and ask for a private pool or community pool, or none. Leave a filter blank when it does not matter to you.
Lifestyle
What are the lifestyle options in the search?
They include waterfront or lakefront, golf course community, 55+ active adult and barndominium. You can choose only one at a time, because picking another replaces the first and clicking it again clears it. Use them to narrow quickly by the kind of setting you want.
Saving
Can I save a search and get alerts?
Yes. The page has a Save search button, and the search builder describes saving and getting alerts. Saving means you do not rebuild your filters each time. Free registration is needed for many of our tools, so expect to sign up when you save.
