try www.property shark.com It only applies to certain states so I'm not sure if you state is included but worth a look. Or you could contact your local real estate agent- they will tell you.

I use http://www.HomePriceMaps.com to see how much homes sold for in any zipcode and/or city. Also-if you don't see any data for your area you can email them your info and they will quickly post home data for your area and email you within a day or two. pretty convenient.

Contact a good realtor in the area, they have software databases that can pull up any address and tell you who has listed it within the past few years.

Look on ebay... active auctions and closed auction searches to see what items sold for.

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.

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!

You can find out in Public Records, normally if the house is appraised say 200 thou, they sell it for 75% of that amount, check public records in your area by searching google or altavista..☺

if you want to know who owned the property, check with the municipality.  if you need a notarized copy attesting to that, the town should know who notarized the sale.  they might not have a copy but you can try and find if the notary is still in business and has the records
