According to ComScore and Hitwise two real estate websites, Apartments.com and Rent.com, both rank in their January 2008 report as top 10 real estate websites based on traffic. This shows how important this sector of the real estate industry is, especially during a depressed real estate market.
To assist homeowners Real Estate Wiki shortly thereafter added some 25 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) covering questions on foreclosures, short sales, bank owned properties and bank auctions. FAQ's include issues such:
? Can I Negotiate the Price of a Bank Owned Property?
