I've seen websites before that offer satellite pictures of houses and you can click and see how much they are worth and other details of the house. Does anyone know the URL of a website/s like this?

You can get a "rough" idea by going to http://www.zillow.com .
It's not always "dead accurate" but it will give you an idea what is what.

Like Gregg said, Zillow is a good place for a "rough" estimate ... but in some cases it is a VERY "rough estimate.
Examples:
My home is listed as 1,200 sq ft, but it is 2,400 and value is listed way too low also.
A friends home is listed at about $250,000, bit it is on the market today for $898,000. The satellite view location for that house is also about 1/4 mile off of where it actually is.
It is up to the owner to update the information, as Zillow gets their information from county records which isn't always correct..
Their database isn't complete for all areas yet either.
It's fun to look at though!

It depends upon the specific state, county, city/town you are looking at. Many larger counties have Auditor websites or some other type of real estate website that allows you to search for properties in multiple ways (e.g., on a map, by street address, or even by an individual's last name). For the other houses in your neighborhood, you can find out some very good information from these sites, including the price the house last sold for, when it sold, square footage of the home, number of rooms, etc. As an example, check out : http://www.co.franklin.oh.us/auditor/ and click on either "Property Maps (GIS)" or "Property Search".

Note, though, that as the real estate climate changes, the estimates on these kinds of sites can be off by quite a bit.
