HomeGain, one of the first companies to provide free instant home valuations online, released the results of our third quarter 2012 nationwide home values survey of over of over 300 HomeGain current and former members and more than 2,200 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 3rd quarter 2012 national results as well as the complete 3rd quarter 2012 regional results, including commentary from real estate agents and brokers.

Earlier we released the California home values survey data. Today we are releasing the Florida home values survey data. In the coming days we will be releasing home values survey data from Texas, Arizona and other states.
