Finding sold data for realestate
Posted on 8/3/13 at 7:42 pm

Looking at buying a house FSBO and selling mine as well to eliminate the bloodthristy realators. Does anyone know if there's a way to access selling prices of houses without having to use a realator?
Considering just calling a Realtor and seeing if they would feed me info for some cash??

Why not just use the realtor to buy a house? That way you get the benefit of their experience and the data from the MLS. You will pay nothing for the realtor's services as the seller pays the commission. This will work with an FSBO as long as they advertise it as "agents protected.

Op, you'll get a pretty good idea using zillow and other real estate websites.

Why would you want to buy a house without representation?
Not trolling, just curious.

Because if the seller isnt having to pay realator fees than I have more negotiating power as they are not paying this cost. If you use a realator even as buyer you are still paying for them!
Dont be brainwashed by those vampires, you dont need them!

FSBOs are like 10% or less of the total market.
What happens if you want to buy a brokered property?

If you don't want to use a realator, why not use a fakealator?

If agents had a flat fee it may be worth it. But with them take 6%, they are pulling in$6k per $100k sold. They just don't do enough to deserve that much money IMO.

Thanks for the zillow info, exactly what I was looking for.

Exactly. Most people don't get this. It's the buyers money they are divvy up at the closing table. All the money ultimately comes from the buyer.

This boards advice on Real Estate never lacks entertainment value. Its so bad its funny
As far as zillows sold info ....it hardly accurate.
The zestimates are also rarely accurate. This is easily verifiable if you do your own investigation.

Go to you local assessor's office. Depending on which parish your real estate is located in they show the recent sale price of properties. Some assesor's have this information online, and some do not, so you have to go into their office.
They are normally 3-4 months before the info is posted online. I have used this info as a guide in the past. hopefully this will help you.

Care to explain why you think what I said was inaccurate? I was simply agreeing with another response.

I think the OP is asking where to go to "do your own investigation". I know my realtor can pull it up but I am not sure if current sold prices are readily available to the public. I don't know the answer. Do you? And can you share it?

This was the best answer in this thread in my opinion.

Well the op claims to have scoured the market and most homes he liked were FSBO, then two post down we find out he's never heard of Zillow. Where did you expect the thread to go?

Every HUD statement I've ever seen disagrees
