Why would anyone use the newspaper?
Agreed. I’m shopping for a house right now, and I can’t even imagine how people did it in the past.
Packing material, start fires, line the dog kennel, etc...
No kidding! I recenlty bought a house and never even considered looking in a newspaper. I can even do instant comps. Realtor.com was my primary tool, and Zillow, which needs to be used taking a grain of salt, it another tool.
Damn, I could even get mortgage quotes online, but ended up using my local mortgage guy, and I'm damn glad I did, no online place could have handled the change in the paperwork that needed to be done 4 hours before my closing.
