If the house is for sale, just check that city's realtors websites and enter he address.\n\nIf it's not for sale? I know that where I live, our public library's website has a database with most all of the houses in the city on it, though some are very old pictures.

If you want a very rough estimate go to ZILLOW.com and enter the address. Otherwise, if you want to know exactly, hire an appraiser to come out and take a look at their house. They will compare 3 or 4 houses in the same neighborhood and give you the value based on all of the options available. This usually cost between $300-$400.\nGo to your search engine and type "appraisers in" and your city, and theres probably 50 of them avail.

Although it is a public record, if the house sold very recently it may not have been recorded yet by the local assessor's office.  If you know the real estate agency that handled the sale, check their web site or give them a call.  I'm sure if you own a home in the area they would be glad to field your question and offer a sales pitch!

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. "

not sure about DC, the best way is to see if the inventory of homes is above or below average. If it is below, it is a sellers market, if above a buyers. A real estate agent in the area would know.\n\nIt wont affect prices too much either way until it becomes extreme so you probably don't need to worry.
