How to Check Home Sale Prices

Home pricing is easier than ever, thanks to the Internet.

Whether you're buying or selling a home or just for simple curiosity, an awareness of local home sale prices is invaluable. Setting a competitive price for your home or knowing whether a home is over- or undervalued is easier than ever. There are numerous Web sites that offer access to a wide variety of home pricing information.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with Internet access

Instructions

1. Access a Web browser on your computer.

2. Go to a home value Web site of your choice. Some, such as Zillow, feature estimates of sales prices for all houses in the area. Other, such as Domania, list only data for home sales based on public tax records.

3. Enter the information of the home for which you want to find information. Most real estate Web sites have overhead map views that allow researchers to find and compare other comparable nearby homes.
