Ask HN: What do you use to buy a house/condo?

#1
1. What's your preferred method for finding a new house, condo, or apartment? MLS, Kijiji/Craigslist, Grapevine, other?

2. What are your top three and bottom three considerations when looking for a purchase or rental? (cost, neighbourhood, schools, proximity to transit, restaurants, etc)

CribQ - http://sfbay.cribq.com/

There are other cities it handles (choose the drop down) but it defaults to sfbay (for me) and remembers your subdomain. Anyway, its a cool google map, craiglist, route, list planner mashup a friend made.

There'a an iPhone app for it too.

I usually use Craigslist or recommendations from people I know who live where I'm moving to.

My number one requirement is FiOS or service with a similar upload and download rates. Rent and the kind of neighborhood are the other two important factors for me.
