National Relocation a major real estate portal that offers many useful services when you are relocating to a new area or just in your own bakyard. Just launched their new rentals section with the new design.  Owners, property managers and landlords can list their apartments for rent and homes for rent for free.

Actually they have been pushing their new design in all their channels this whole week. They pushed real estate earlier in the week. It has great new functions like comparing mortgage rates, locating a Realtor, research information about schools and city data information as well.  You can even find a foreclosure if you are looking for a bargain.

They will also be pushing the new design for their movers section this week. Next week they will be finishing the new design by adding Insurance including life insurance, car insurance and homeowners insurance. All the different types you will need when you are moving to a new area. More home buying stuff will be the home inspectors section and title insurance section.

This is definately a helpful and useful site when you are checking home values and researching different housing options for a new neighborhood.

We have information and links to most of the Oahu Schools on our Hawaii real estate site. You can find more information about schools and city information on National Relocation.

Some of the best private schools in the nation are on Oahu. Iolani school is known for its academic excellence. It wins awards every year for its students achievements. Punahou is another great private school and known nationally by many of the great colleges and its students are recruited heavily as well.

These are definately the top two private schools on Oahu and in the state of Hawaii.



Hawaii Foreclosures VS Nationawide Foreclosures

Hawaii foreclosures are on the rise. According to some of the stats, Hawaii foreclosure listings have doubled over the past year.  There were 313 foreclosures filed on properties in the third quarter. That was 105% increase than the third quarter last year. Hawaii is still among one of the states with the fewest foreclosures ( Hawaii is ranked 40th).

Nationally, the rates continue to rise. Nevada has the highest percentage with one foreclosure filing for every 61 households. The amount of Las Vegas foreclosures is incredible. The Las Vegas real estate market was one of the strongest a few years ago with some of the largest appreciation the nation saw. No it looks like it is making a major correction.

California and Florida were the other two top states with the amount of filings. While San Diego foreclosures did not lead California, it was among the top big cities to get hammered with the amount of filings. Other top California cities that have allot of foreclosure filings are Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Chula Vista, Anaheim and Riverside. There is a Florida foreclosure filing for every 95 households. Big cities like Miami, Orlando and Jacksonville continue to increase monthly.

It looks like there will be some great buying opportunities in the future across the country. The big questions is when to jump in the market and take advantage of some of the great deals that are gong to be out there.
