Online House Hunting

How much did a house sell for?

I've been told of a free site where anyone can go and see how much someone paid for their home (the price registered in the books at their local court house). Does anyone know what the name of this free site is and could possibly tell me. Thanks ahead!!

2. Go to the online site of the county assessor in which you are interested. Unfortunately some counties will not be online but if youa re looking in a major city that information is readily available.
3. Are you in a disclosure state? Texas is not. Here, you can find liens on houses - like how much the buyer borrowed for it, but the sale price is listed as "$10 and other consideration", so you won't know how much they paid. Edit: Non-disclosure states include Alaska, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas and Utah.

5. You need to contact your county Assessor's office and see if they have a website. If they do not, you will have to go to the county offices to find out how much someone paid for a home. It is public record, and therefore must be available to the public (yes, even in Texas). Best of luck to you!
