by Louis Cammarosano

Last month, HomeGain, one of the first companies to provide free instant home valuations online, released the results of our second quarter 2012 nationwide home values survey of over of over 400 HomeGain current and former members and more than 1,700 home owners. The survey asked their opinions on home prices and what they thought of President Obama’s performance as President. On this real estate blog we published the 2nd quarter 2012 national results as well as the complete 2nd quarter 2012 regional results, including commentary from real estate agents and brokers.

Earlier this month we released the California 2nd quarter 2012 home values survey data, the Florida 2nd quarter 2012 home values survey data, the 2nd quarter 2012 Texas home values survey data, the 2nd quarter 2012 Arizona home values survey data, the 2nd quarter 2012 Massachusetts home values survey data, and the 2nd quarter 2012 New York home values survey data. In the coming days we will be releasing home values survey data from Maryland, North Carolina, Washington and other states.
