Give me 30 more years to compile the data for you and I'll have something.If I had to guess however, some of the markets that have performed the best over the past 30-40 years would be:San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, D.C., Denver, Portland, Seattle. 

Hey David,I've been yet to find one, but once you get familiar with the larger auction sites you'll be able to compile a list of upcoming auctions quickly.Here's a few to look into:   www.realauction.com; www.grantstreet.com ; www.govease.com;www.lienhub.co....Govease has a list of their upcoming auctions on the home page.

Even though info is free like you said, they do a good job in compiling info and auction dates/format links to help keep you organized.
