You can try real estate sites such as www.coldwellbanker.com or Yahoo Real Estate just to name a few.

visit www.firstgov.gov which is the FED's web portal to anything and everything. As far as a "complete" list there is no such thing. By refusing to work with a realtor you are probably missing 20-25% or more of the opportunities that don't hit the websites.
Not to mention, some of the FED programs require you use an agent so I would suggest you start interviewing and finding one that you are comfortable with. In the long run, you will be better off in my opinion.
First off, you need to be getting yourself prequalified if you haven't already done that and lock in a rate so that you can act quickly when you do find a property.

It would probably be easier to use a realtor, but you can do research without contacting them right away. A really good website to browse local real estate is: http://www.realestateforsaleincalifornia.net
just find your desired area and you can check out local agents/homes/rentals without having to contact the realtor first.
It's really easy to navigate and is full of info about homes with links to realtor's personal websites, which should display all the available listings...and I know some of them specialize in foreclosures. Hopefully that works for you! Good Luck!

First off, Why are you not using a Realtor? The Realtor gets paid from the seller not the buyer, a buyers agent will represent your best interest. Sellers who over price their properties to compensate for commission usually sit on their property much longer and have to reduce their price to sell. Homes sell for what the public is willing to pay.

www.usamls.net
that website allows you to search by state, but if you're buying a home, GET A REALTOR. it costs nothing to have an agent represent you as a buyer, the seller is the person paying the commission.
