Last month, HomeGain,one of the first companies to provide free instant home valuations online, released the results of our third quarter 2011 nationwide home values survey of over 500 HomeGain current and former members and 2,200 home owners. The survey asked their opinions on home prices and what they thought of President Obama’s performance as President.
