Where, on line, can I get a property value for free?

Question

Ok, I got Zillow.com, any others?

Answer 1

A great site is www.zillow.com

Answer 2

often times these "values" are not accurate. the only accurate way to obtain a home's value is to have an appraiser prepare an appraisal. even then, appraisals are technically only good for the day they are dated, as a home's market value fluctuates based on what has sold in the past year that is comparable to the subject. in other cases, some of those websites post the assessed value of a property, which is most of the time, UNDER what the home's value is. there is a formula used to calculate assessed value, and it doesn't necessarily correlate to market value.

if you're taking the free way out, call a realtor and get them to do a market analysis. these are typically free, and will let you know what homes in your area are going for, along with what yours should go for.

alternately, to find the value of a specific property, find out what county it is in, and call and ask a local realtor!

Answer 3

This info is available to the public, most counties have their own web sites. Try doing a search on yahoo by entering (the county in which the property is, followed by the word "property"). The site for my county gives all kinds of info such as value, tax info, rooms and structures on property, etc.

Answer 4

This usually done by county (in Virginia it is). Look for property tax sites, like the department of tax administration.

[edit]

nevermind this answer hit www.zillow.com, I just found my house there, that site is right, too!
