Quite often there are disputes about who will get the house. Who even wants the house? And more often than not, the actually selling of the house. This often leads to disagreement about the actual sale price of the house if it is being sold. I’ve gathered links to several well known sources of information that might be a help to you.

Obviously the most important way to help yourself is to hire a top local divorce attorney. Search on Google for “[YOUR CITY] divorce attorney”, to help your odds of finding the right divorce attorney for you. Take the time to review several of the results though. Do not assume that the first listing is the best divorce attorney.

Here are the top 15 sites for finding real estate online:

1. Trulia. This real estate search engine is one of the leading sites for people who want to find properties online. It is a user-friendly site filled with tools to make the house hunt easy for you.
2. Realtor.com. This site was ranked number one on a leading review site due to the fact that it has extensive search features, produces the most listings per search and provides extensive information about the properties in the search results.
3. Homes & Land. This website provides numerous ways to find the property that is right for you including a mapping system that makes it simple to see exactly what neighborhood a home is in.
4. Homes.com. Many people like this real estate website because it provides very detailed information about the area where a home is located including information on crime statistics. This makes it easy to narrow down your search to the places where you most want to live.
5. House Locator. This online real estate site has been growing in popularity recently due in large part to the fact that it is very user friendly. Even people who aren’t yet comfortable searching for properties online should find that this site gets them off to a good start on finding a home.
6. Move. This is an interesting online real estate site because it tends to cater to people who are looking for pricier homes. It’s not for mansion seekers, of course, but it’s more for folks looking in the $200,000+ range than anything below that. This makes it different from most of the other good sites and therefore a great niche site for people seeking this type of property.
7. Point2Homes. If you know that you want to move to a specific state but aren’t sure where in the state is best for you then this site can be very useful. You can easily narrow your search to statewide and then narrow it down even further from there as you get a better idea about where you want to live.
8. Yahoo! Real Estate. Many people like working with brands they know and everyone knows Yahoo! Their real estate site is easy to use and provides a lot of information for prospective homebuyers.
9. HomeSeekers. This is a traditional online real estate site that you can use to find single-family homes. However, they also offer the option of finding more unique types of housing such as timeshares. If you’re seeking an alternative to the standard real estate website then this could be a good choice for you.
10. House Hunt. This online real estate site links you to a local real estate agent who will provide you with information about the houses on the site that you find appealing. Many people like this personal contact that isn’t standard across all sites.
11. RealEstate.com. This is an example of a middle-of-the-road online real estate site. It is a great place to start but doesn’t have all of the advanced features that some of the other sites offer.
12. Real Estate ABC. This basic site provides you with the ability to find homes that are listed for sale based on their geographic area. The nice thing about this site is that it provides extensive information to assist you in the nuances of homebuying.
13. Zillow. This online real estate marketplace is notable in part because it has a mobile version of the site that is easy to use. That means you can search for a home from anywhere.
14. Bigger Pockets. This is an interesting real estate website because it focuses on combining the real estate search with social networking. Because of the social networking features of the site you may find housing options here that aren’t shown on other sites.
15. HousingMaps. This website takes the information about houses for sale that is listed on Craigslist and mashes it up with Google Maps to make it easy for you to find those listings based on the area where you want to get a home.

The most telling to me is that on average, there is another foreclosure filing in the US every 13 seconds. Yes that’s right… every 13 seconds.

Think about your personal finances. Think ahead of time about how you might be able to withstand a layoff or sudden decrease in income. Better to prepare and not need it, than to be unprepared if it does.
