Just wondering if anyone knows of any information services (preferably free of charge) which provide previous sale prices on properties.
I recall at the Property Masters course in June that Stuart O’Neill (Guerrilla Real Estate) said that he uses one whenever he is considering buying a property (ie to check the prices of the neighboring properties)- but for the life of me I can’t remember what it is!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this
Regards
Chris
If you are interested in a certain area then you could go to an open inspection in that area and ask the sales agent for a list of recent sales. They usually give you a 2-3 page document of all the sales in that area for the last year or two. Otherwise I know that you can buy these records from a government department but I am not sure how (perhaps again ask your local real estate agent).
Comments may not be relevant to individual circumstances. If you intend making any investment, financial or taxation decision you should consult a professional adviser.
Valuer General (fax 0894298460) in WA will fax back last purchase date/price on a particular property and sales values of 70 others for $14 or 110 properties by e.mail for $22. The “other” properties can be split over two areas ie 35 around two different properties. My search yesterday was answered within 1/2 hour.
Thanks for the info, looking at properties in WA but finding it difficult to evaluate “good” areas from my office in NSW.
thanks

Judith, is there a website for the WA valuer general that you know of?
I’m new to the forum… Hopefully I can both get something from coming here, and give something back too.
In NSW, real estate agents have a tool called RPData that they subscribe to. I don’t know how much they pay for it, although I know that my friendly agent (I look after their IT requirements) has been helpful in looking up property sale prices and dates for me. []
PS. Their ‘Value Watch Info’ isn’t available until post Oct 2003.
