Bank Owned Houses in Wake County

I'm currently working on creating a real estate website, and I've got one aspect of the website to be production-ready.

There are many sites that advertise heavily claiming to give you information about foreclosures (for example, RealtyTrac.com). However, these websites usually require you to become a member, which costs ridiculous amounts and they have a reputation for terrible customer service (not canceling memberships even when asked) and for having out of date or simply incorrect data.

Now, with a little bit of searching, one can usually find out if a given house is bank-owned by searching public records. I set up a database search program to go through all public records in Wake County, NC and find a list of bank owned houses. I then sub-categorized these houses (by city, cost, size, government owned, etc) and mapped them using the Google Maps API. You can see the result here:

Enjoy!
