When Homeaway began to restrict the ability for owners to see the guest's email address or telephone number I was worried that because I could not talk to the guest when they initially inquired (as was my procedure) I would end up having to cancel bookings because the guest might not meet my requirements (age, number in party, non-smoker, no parties, etc.)

Does anyone know of a good source and/or site that can show you how quickly homes are being sold in a particular area, from the time they were listed.
