http://www.zillow.com\n\nI have found for my city I can get within 10% quite often with one caveat. If the house has not had updates that are not listed. If there not there how could they possibly get it right?\n\nI also look at the price as more of a what-its-worth-if-its-in-average-condition-for-the-area price. It is very useful for me if I already know the area. And as well you can get info for previous sales which is very helpful if you want to buy it from someone to figure out where they are at with it.\n\nsource quote:\n"Last year, according to the National Association of Realtors, 77 percent of home buyers used the Internet for research and 24 percent said they found their home online. Zillow.com offers free valuations for more than 40 million homes across the United States and has data on an additional 20 million homes. The property values, or "Zestimates," are only within 10 percent of the right price 62 percent of the time, and the accuracy varies widely by county and state, ranging from a low of 47 percent for New York to a high of 82 percent for Nebraska. The company says there is no data available for Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota and South Dakota because of state disclosure laws. "

There are several online valuation engines such as zillow.com. However the best way to find out the value is to have an appraiser do an appraisal. The online valuation should give you a fairly good idea but by no means replaces an appraisal from a real appraiser.  If the appraisal comes in lower from a real appraiser then you at least have some negotiating room to have the seller lower the sales price. Make sure it says something to that effect in the purchase agreement. \nhttp://www.lendermark.com

The problem I had with Assist2Sell, is they wanted to list my home about $10k below market.....To sell it fast.....I got other appraisals and realized they were under selling my property....Plus they won't put it on MLS for the $2495.....Only on there website.....If you want it to be on MLS, they will charge you the 6%.....Its sort of a scam.....I ended up selling myself for more than Assist2Sell's price and saved 1,000's.....Best of luck to you...

99/100 of the time, those websites will say something like the following...\n\n"The information you have requesting is not currently available, Please Click Here to get in touch with a Realtor"\n\nIt is a scam, (in the sense that they advertise for a service they they do not offer). They put a great deal of commercials on the television lately about, "see what homes are worth in your area, go to ___.com", but they all simply are trying to get you in touch with a Realtor.\n\n\nwell with that said... i think the website you are looking for is...\n\nhttp://www.zillow.com

I don't see why not. It could be a possible conflict of interest but I am having trouble imagining a possible scenario . . . \n\n• Standard of Practice 3-7\nWhen seeking information from another REALTOR® concerning property under a management or listing agreement, REALTORS® shall disclose their REALTOR® status and whether their interest is personal or on behalf of a client and, if on behalf of a client, their representational status. (Amended 1/95)\n\nArticle 12\nREALTORS® shall be careful at all times to present a true picture in their advertising and representations to the public. REALTORS® shall also ensure that their professional status (e.g., broker, appraiser, property manager, etc.) or status as REALTORS® is clearly identifiable in any such advertising. (Amended 1/93)\n\n•; Standard of Practice 16-3\nArticle 16 does not preclude REALTORS® from contacting the client of another broker for the purpose of offering to provide, or entering into a contract to provide, a different type of real estate service unrelated to the type of service currently being provided (e.g., property management as opposed to brokerage) or from offering the same type of service for property not subject to other brokers’ exclusive agreements. However, information received through a Multiple Listing Service or any other offer of cooperation may not be used to target clients of other REALTORS® to whom such offers to provide services may be made.

Try the Internet and your local library.  You can also ask other real estate developers about what they think about the future of the industry.

the website is probably zillow.com.  It lets you put in your address, and any renovations that you may have made to the house to come up with a new market value based on comparable houses sold in your area recently.

There is also another one that just came on line.\nhttp://www.realestateabc.com/\nI haven't compared them to Zillow yet, but reports are that they are pretty good also.

I checked out the site.  It looks ok, but I don't think it's the way I would go if I were selling property.  I'd rather find a real estate agent that knows the area

I don't know either, but I sent an e-mail to membersupport@mongle.com and the e-mail was returned to me.  What a jip, I had been with them for years and finally saved enough equity points with them to start looking for a house!  I think they went out of business, but how horrible as they didn't even let their members know.  I hadn't checked my account in a while and went to check it today and the website was gone.

Zillow is a good site, however the information is dated, and in some cities they use assessment values which are not a true measure of market value. Any site that depends on tax records or the recording at the court house will take time to be made public. sites like Realtor.com which get their information from sites that service real estate agents would have the information faster, however they can take as long as two weeks to update their info. Some Realtors have their own sites that are updated every 24 to 48 hours, so their site would be faster. If you know one, ask them to look up the sale price or go on their site and get the information.

I did mine through RET online. They all seem to be the same as my wife used a diffrent company and the information was basically identical.\n\nDo a search for real estate trainers or RET online.\n\nGood Luck\n\nKevin\nKruorock@firstratelending.com
