Nothing on Websites In My Area

[Quota Thornton]

Hello everyone! Right now I'm saving my money and repairing my credit so that I can secure a property when the time comes BUT the issue is I've been looking on Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, and Redfin but there seems to be extremely low inventory in my area! Does the MLS have more listings than these sources? I'm wondering about other marketing strategies such as driving for dollars whenever I'm off. What do you guys think about this? How can I find deals? Thanks!
