For this week's segment of Charlottesville Plugged In, Amy Eastlack of SuzySaidCville, joined CBS19's Jim Hanchett to talk about online real estate websites.

Now finding your dream house is only a click away. Online real estate websites make it easy to watch the market and get a feel for the kind of homes you want and can afford. You can surf for homes that meet your specific criteria and price range without the pressure of an agent breathing down your neck.

There are lots of national websites like http://www.realtor.com and
http://realestate.yahoo.com that are great.

Locally, the Charlottesville Association of Realtors has a website that is great for the public. On the site there are a ton of different search functions, you can go as simple as just looking at price, or really narrow (down to specific neighborhoods, number of beds and baths, schools, eco-certification etc.) This site also offers information the newest listings.
