What's the best website to search the MLS for Austin real estate?

I'm in the market for a new house, and I live in Austin, TX. What's the best Austin real estate website? I want it to have the Austin MLS, good maps and photos.

1. Try realtor.com That's where I go to look at houses all over the United States =]
2. www.realtor.com Not only can you search all kinds of listings, but there are many other resources there too. You can find a good realtor, links to relocation information, etc. Best of luck to you!!!
3. I was looking at buying a house, but I decided Austin real estate prices were too high for me so I just rented an apartment :) While I was looking I found a local Austin real estate website that was pretty cool, http://www.hometoaustin.com . You can search through the Austin MLS, and they have interactive Google maps to show you where all the homes for sale are. Anyway, good luck on your home search!
4. Realtor.com is pretty good. The only thing better is talking to an actual real estate agent who can give you listings directly from the MLS itself. The industry tightly controls MLS access so that you have to use agents.
5. I used to use the Austinrealpros.com webpage, there is an option to search area properties under the "search" tab. I never really found a good MLS site when I was looking for a house, and since we were shopping in a really hot market, by the time the MLS was updated for us to see, the house was already pending contract. The realtors get that info first, so you may just want to go through a realtor once you're serious about looking.
