Home price check?

Home price check?

Are there any sites that list what homes have sold for? I know Domania.com does this, but they no longer cover my area [in Alabama]. (Anyone know why Domania.com stopped covering certain cities/counties/states in their home sale prices database?)

Sales histories are available through your register of deeds. Some are online, some aren't some are handled by the city if it is large enough or the county if is not.

In your case, unfortunately, unless you care about Fran Hamilton you'll probably have to call them.

House Values will do a free CMA (Comparitive Market Analysis) of your home. This basically gives you a list of what homes have sold in your neighborhood with comperable feature sets (i.e. square footage, rooms, etc).

Our county clerk has that information on it's website (with a frightening amount of other information).

Realtor.com used to do this. Sorry, don't know who does this universally but I know of a site for sales local to me.

I suspect they took it down because if you have comp information, it seems the Realtor becomes largely irrelevant.

Yahoo RealEstate has pretty good coverage.
