Last month, HomeGain, one of  the first companies to provide free instant home valuations online, released the results of our second quarter 2011 nationwide home values survey of over 750 HomeGain current and former members and 2,600 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 2011 national results as well as the complete 2nd quarter 2011 regional results, including commentary from real estate agents and brokers.
