Homesaledirectory.com, a Flagstaff, Ariz.-based home for sale listing website for buyers and sellers, has formed a strategic partnership with RealtyTrac, in which RealtyTrac will power a nationwide foreclosure home search on Homesaledirectory.com. Said Jason Dittberner, president of Homesaledirectory, "Home buyers and investors are searching for the best buying opportunities available and this partnership adds yet another valuable resource." With real estate in a downturn in most markets nationwide, the foreclosure marketplace is one of the few growing areas in real estate. More than 750,000 homes received a foreclosure notice in the third quarter of 2008, up 71% from the third quarter of 2007, according to the RealtyTrac U.S. Foreclosure Market Report. Said Ari Monkarsh, vice president at RealtyTrac, "We look forward to providing Homesaledirectory.com and its customers the most comprehensive foreclosure data available on the Internet."
