what are some good reputable comparable real estate pricing websites?

Question

Im looking for property that is sold in near by addresses, so I can determine market value on a particular house. So far I been using www.homes.com, then I click on home values on the top bar of the page, and enter a zip code, then I navigate the web map and scroll in on area which gives me my sold real estate and market value of houses. Is there any other sources that can I use? would greatly appreciate it. I know that real estate agents have all the sales price data, but I haven't got that far in my real estate venture.

any other sources other then www.homes.com for comparable real estate prices?

Thank you the more diverse I can get at property search the more successful I can be I believe thank you.

In my opinion, it depends on your market. Nothing is going to be having a real estate agent you trust in that particular market to conduct what most call a "competitive market analysis" to drum up an ARV for you.

In the past I have used Redfin, Zillow, TotalViewRealEstate.com and others. In certain markets they seem to be pretty accurate; in other markets, the numbers might as well have been drummed up by an animated potato with arms.

In Houston the best place is HAR.com and also their app. They give ranges of prices for sold properties to the general public instead of the exact price. In terms of site navigation the app is probably better.

@Brad Starling  that is a great tip. I had no idea Realtor.com has recently sold listings.

I love Redfin. If you don't have MLS access, this is a great alternative.

Brad Starling · Answer

The closest thing to MLS access is Realtor.com, since it is operated by the National Association of Realtors, is going to be the most up-to-date. It gets direct feeds from the MLS's, and updates at least every 24 hours. The sold info comes from the MLS, not the assessors website, so it will be actual and current.

Otherwise, most MLS's have public accessible sites that you can get much of your comparable info from, and it's as up to date as the MLS is.

This varies from area to area. Realtor.com is not very up to date in my neck of the woods.

It appears that Redfin is maybe for bigger areas?  I looked up MI & it only covers Detroit.  There is a lot of other areas here except Detroit lol.
