I picked up a recent copy of the newer format of the Sacramento News and Review–and I am loving the new style! I wonder if it’s a one-timer, special issue…or if it is a sign of things to come. (Note to SN&R–I LOVE it, keep it!) It’s a much neater, slightly smaller paper. And it’s stapled….

I enjoyed my copy–but the best tidbit of the whole edition was the listing of bank-owned homes by zip code, address, and price. I know you can get this info off the Internet, by filling out a bunch of screens. Here, however, you can get it for free, anonymously, Nice. SN&R says they’re doing their readers who rent a favor and I have to agree. Thanks! They say they’ll be doing it weekly, so go get one if you’re house-hunting!

By the way, did you notice there’s no bank-owned property in 95831 or 95819? I know, I ‘m looking too.
