County Records will show the tax value which, if the owner declared what they actually paid, will give the value placed the first year they were taxed. Also look at neighboring properties. This gives a base for the area at that time. When looking at property - ask your Realtor to also look up the listing history. That will tell you how long it has been on the market and if they dropped their price or not. Can also look at comparable listings to judge actual value.

Depends on where you live. Some land records offices retain such information and others do not. However, the price the current owner paid is quite irrelevant to what you should now pay.
The price you should pay for this property is dictated by the real estate market values in the area.

Each county in each state has a property or tax accessors office where you can in an address and you get such information when the sold and for what price and sales of other homes in the area that is comparable to yours. I put one such website below that is for Florida

What has that got to do with anything. How long they have lived in the house and what the maket price was at the time they bought it, is not revelent to the housing market now.
They may have bought it 30 years ago or 3 years ago.
Big difference in housing prices in that time period. And no reflection on the housing prices of today. Don't waste your time.

There are 2 main ways to find out this information. They are:
1) County Records
2) Zillow.com
