Call a local REALTOR and he/she will be able to provide the most up to date and accurate data. As REALTORs we have access to the most recent sales through the MLS.(Multiple Listing Service) You also could go to your local tax asessors office to do your own research, however this could be very time consuming. Why not let us do the work for you? Most agents will provide you with a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) free of charge under no obligation.

I have a tool on my website which you can use. It shows actual sales data. Just enter your address and see what homes have recently sold for in your area.

In Montana, which is a non-disclosure state, the best option is sto contact a Realtor. A Realtor will have the ability to search for properties that have been sold on their multilist system.

Obviously, the best way is to have a REALTOR go through your home and perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and make adjustments as an appraiser would.

If you go to my website athttp:// www.Make-It-MARK.com, I can provide you with an online market evaluation just to give you a general idea as to what you could obtain for your home in today's market.

Or, you could go to the Connecticut Multiple Listing Service's newest service available to the public athttp:// www.CTReal.com. Here you can find the same information that we have access to, including recent home sales.

Rachelle,
Other than using a qualified realtor, which is the BEST option, you might check out Zillow.com

Contact a Realtor in your area. If you don't know any real estate professionals in your area, ask your friends, co-workers, etc. People who've had a great experience with a Realtor are happy to share that information, and as a Realtor myself, I'm always pleased when a client refers someone to me. It's our job to assist the public with the very type of information you're seeking. Find someone you like and trust and let them do their job.

There are many ways to do this but the most effictive way is to call a local Realtor who can give you the current market conditions in your neighborhood. You will get a list of what's on the market, what is in escrow and recent sales. They will do this without any obligation or cost. Good luck.

HI Rachelle,

If you’re looking to sell your home you need to get yourself the best and most accurate answer. It’s true that the very best way to do so is by contacting a Realtor. If the issue is that you want to sell on your own you should consider that statistically speaking, For Sale by Owner homes generally sell for less and remain on the market longer than those represented by a licensed agent. In the long run, you may end up losing money. Just food for thought.

A good agent will contact their network of other agents and buyers to quickly get the word out about the property. The home would also get listed in at least one multiple listing service. This will give other agents the opportunity to find your home when they are looking for something similar in your area.

If they do the listing justice, they would likely advertise it on some of the better known websites like Realtor.com, Yahoo real estate, etc.

There is no charge for getting you specific information on sales in your area and there is no obligation for you to list with anyone who prepares a competitive market analysis. This will give you an accurate answer.

Should you have a discussion with a Realtor and they don’t gladly offer you that service, keep looking.

I’ve done business in New Haven it’s a great City and has a lot to offer.

If you need any help getting your answers, please let me know.

All the best,

Rachelle,
You can try to find the info yourself. A good source would be realtor.com. You might also try optimium homes, it is channel 606 if you have optimium cable service or optonline.com. If you want to go to the extreme effort, you can go to the municipality and research currenlty recorded sales. The EASIEST THING TO DO, is to contact a local REALTOR in the neighborhood you want to consider buying (or selling ) in. They can do this kind of work for you. I have access to information at my fingertips, that might be harder for you to find. Most agents will do a Market report for you, buying or selling. If you need a referral to a local professional, I can offer you this service FOR FREE. Just ask. lisa.brodsky@coldwellbanker.com , www.coldwellbanker.com/for/lisa.brodsky . If you have other real estate concerns, I would be happy to chat with you. Visithttp:// www.myspace.com/realtorlisabrodsky

Good Luck!

Rachelle,
The best way to find out what homes in your area are selling for is to consult with a realtor. If you are considering selling your home they can prepare a comparative market analysis for you that will include several comparable properties in your area that have sold recently. Alternatively you can read the property transfers in your local newspaper or research on-line.

Sat Oct 20 2007, 10:36

you can check tax records, contact a title company, go to Realtor.com, etc. Many states also have a public MLS that will show you comparables. In some areas you can go to Zillow.com. Probably the best approach is to consult an experienced real estate professional in your neighborhood.

Thu Oct 11 2007, 15:57

Hi Rachelle, I would't go with Zilow or any other online program, they aren't accurate enough just yet. I would ask 3 realtors, or subscribe to a service like HomeValuePlus.com. Don't forget to truelly compare your house to the comps. See if it really is similar and comparable: same size, beds, baths, curbside appeal, bathroom and kithcen upgrades and updates, flooring, etc.

Find a local agent to be your neighborhood expert. Ask him/her to let you know when a house in your neighborhood has sold. They will be happy to provide you with that information. Hopefully, you'll use that agent when you have other housing needs.

Thu Oct 11 2007, 13:26

Hi Rachelle. The most accurate and up-to-date information will come from a real estate agent in your area as most homes sell through the MLS. Public records and search engines only give you an incomplete picture of the market as they gather sold property data from public records, which can be outdated and incomplete. Just ask a local real estate agent to give you a comparative market analysis or just information about all the listings that sold within the past 3 months in your neighborhood. Just make sure you only compare properties that are really comparable. You'll also want to know which of the sold properties were short sales and bank owned.

Thu Oct 11 2007, 13:25

If you are working with a Realtor he/she should be able to provide your with market data for active, under deposit and recently sold properties. If you're working on your own...check your local paper's Real Estate section or online. If you're thinking about selling your home soon, you should consult with a Realtor to obtain a current Comparative Market Anaylsis (CMA) on your property based on comparable properties within your area.

Best of Luck :

There are a variety of differtent ways to find this information. For starters is to contact a Real Estate Agent or I as an agent can provide you with this information. There are also several websites that will help but only giving you minimal information. Thanks and Good Luck, please feel free to contact me with any questions 203-868-6493.

Thu Oct 11 2007, 12:58

The best way is to have a Realtor run a CMA of properties in the area you are considering. I would first get preapproved with a bank...that way you can narrow your focus to see what you can get within your budget.
