How do I find out what housing is popular in my area?

[Joshua Walter]

This is my first post on this site but I remember Brandon saying in one of his podcast that if I had questions that this was a good place to ask them so figured I'd give it a try, anyways I was wondering if there are any good websites I could use that'd help me to somewhat get a basic understanding of certain areas such as finding out what type of housing is popular in your area, or if there's lot of job opportunities in said area etc...
