how can I find what the fair market value of a house was in 1983?

if it was sold near then, as long as it was sold for near market value, then you will know. You can also apply the trend in your market to the house. This new website has a more information link and you can look at a chart of the value back quite a ways.\n\nYou will need comparables that sold then and what state the house was in too. It is by no means an exact science.\n\nhttp://www.zillow.com

You can't.  Websites like zillow & bofa are not at all accurate.  For example, zillow uses loan info.  We paid cash for our house, so it shows the last thing it could find which is the foreclosure from the previous owner in May of 2004.  My neighbor paid 1/2 cash and financed the other 1/2 of her house (just 2 months ago) and sure enough zillow values her house for the exact 1/2 that she financed.  Nothing to do with market conditions in either case.  bofa.com shows my house being 30 years older than it actually is, and once again the estimate that it gave had nothing to do with market conditions.  homefindinginfo makes you fill out a form, and I still haven't heard back from them.  You could have a Realtor come by and have them give you a rough idea of what you might price it at if you were going to list it.  They would do that for free.\n\nIt has been over 26 hours since I submitted my request to homefindinginfo.com, and I still have not heard back from them.

eBay will give you a good idea of the current market value of the item in question.

go to the website:\n\nhttp://www.zillow.com\n\ntype in any address in the town of interest. Click on that house on the map or any house nearby that strikes your fancy. Click the link that say more info. Then on that page click on the link for more data and graphs. Now you are where you want to be. The graph of the price will have a few options you can "turn on". One is for the town another for the zip code. You can then see the average price increase for as many years as you set up the graph to go and compare it to other areas by doing the same for them.

where and what are you looking for? It depends on which region, and how specific of information you desire. try the town hall for which you desire info... if you know the lot number and street address you may be able to find out from the city tax collector/clerk the house prices you are interested in.

ebay.com is the best place to find out about the current market value of the items u want to sell. In ebay, go to Advanced Search, & search for the item u want to find out abt. But the trick is to search for Completed listings only. That way u'll b able to c what prices similar products have been sold for.\nHope that helps.

One approach would be to use data available from either edmunds.com or kbb.com.  You want to plot age vs. value, so arbitrarily pick a car model that's been manufactured for several years.\n\nGet the resale value for new, 2006, 2005, 2004.. etc. \n\nDepending on the scope of the assignment, repeat this for several car models.  If using several different models, either plot them as separate data sets, or plot all as one data set, but first convert the raw price to percentage of original MSRP (the percentage makes sense even if some of the cars were low priced when new, and some higher-end.

http://www.zillow.com/\n\nThis is not the most accurate site for current values, but it should show trends.\n\nYou have to pick a house first.  (Any house in any area) Then look for the "Zestimate" data.

Look with the assessors office.  the assessed value is close to what the appraised value of the house,  on the report it should also list the market price and when it was last sold.  if this information is not available check the doc, stamps.  take the dollar amount of the stamps and divide it by 1.50.  for example:  If the doc stamps were 45.00 you would  divide 45.00 into 1.5 this would equal 30,000, so 30,000 is the price that was paid for the property.

Just thinking out loud here:\n\nI would imagine that you would have to have a 'starting point' in time like when the house was first built or sold and then increments of time and the associated appreciation (or depreciation).  For the actual price of the house you would have to use actual selling price or maybe even the tax appraisal value.  All of this would be influenced heavily by the location of the houses you are considering.  In the US housing price history would be very different from one region to the next. \n\nSo, with your $ values and associated time increments (1 year, 2 year, whatever) you could analyze the data:\n\nAfter 1 year, X% went down or went up, or you could use $ increments instead - like 11% went up 0 to 10% and 3% went up 10 to 20% and 1% went up (or down) 20% to 30% so on and so forth.

You are in Luck!!!\n\njust a few short weeks ago the best website for doing just this came out from the guy that made expedia.com.\n\nhttp://www.zillow.com\n\nzillow.com is a great little website that will let you do this yourself. You will get the idea of when it may be innacurate (updates not included but hey thats easy to tell), and the comps on there are priceless for doing the homework yourself.

If you are talking about finding one that is filed you would contact the property appraisers office either on line or in person. This is public record and should be pretty easy to find. You can use the physical or legal address of the property.

Try this website http://www.zillow.com.  It allows you to enter an address of a property and get an idea of the estimated pricing of the homes around your area .. what the site refers to as a zestimate.

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. "

I agree, you need an appraiser.  Info on those websites is mostly based on loan records, and often has highly inaccurate info.  For example, zillow.com shows the value of my house with the amount it was foreclosed on over a year ago because we paid cash for it. and bofa.com shows the same house being 30 years older than it actually is.  None of those sites will have accurate info.  An appraiser will walk the property inside & out, make note of all things that add or detract from the value, and do a comparison of similar properties in the area.
