US property website

You could try www.realtor.com or www.homes.com

Google "real estate" or "realtor" and the town you are looking in. Also there is a service called MLS that all realtors send property info to. I think the site is www.MLSonline.com

Are you looking at purchasing or renting. The market is so dead here right now you should be able to pick up a deal (we have had ours n the market for a year now.

Stelly is your US housing expert so you might want to put a post out for her.

Oh, look - here I am!?

Where are you looking, and do you want rentals or to buy? I can point you in the direction of the nearest MLS (multiple listing service) which would hold all the current stuff. There are thousands of MLSs all over the US, so it's not always easy to work out which one you need, and google results have been taken over by companies that buy up the phrase "north carolina mls" etc. etc.

Anyway, if you let me know where you want to look, I can find the site for you.

Thanks that would be great. I have managed to find real estate sales but rentals are just all over the place. I'm looking for rentals (houses) in Cincinnati, Ohio... Hamilton State if that is more exact.

Can I ask, those who replied and any other US hitchers... did you move there from the UK?

My H has been offered a job in Cincinnati on a 2 year contract... we went out there a couple of weeks ago and loved it but I'm terrified of moving so far away! Did you/do you find it hard?

Thanks so much. Em

This is really interesting.

We're looking at emigrating with my parents when they retire but if the US market is slow at the moment I'm also wondering whether it would be worth looking into buying property now and renting it out?
