With all the news on the financial markets and mortgages, property values are on more people’s minds. Need to know your home value? Here are some valuable sites pulled from my bookmarks.
Yahoo Real Estate
This is my favorite site for finding property information. It’s very comprehensive.
Realtor
This is a good site to look for home values for homes that are currently for sale. It’s very comprehensive and has some good articles, too.
Zillow
It’s getting better, but there are still gaps. Information is added when property sells. So some of the “old” properties don’t show up. They have a very nice map feature.
Domania
This is done by LendingTree, so expect to see a lot of articles about mortgage loans. But the search feature is good. You can do a quick home value check or a home price check.
Cyberhomes
This site is still adding information, but it is quick and easy to use. It’s supposed to be a place where you search for your dream home. I punched in my zip code and nothing came up. I guess my dream home isn’t here. :-p
I check my own property value from time to time, and compare it with that of my local area and sometimes other states, too. I like to see how New York State is faring. Trust me, we’re still at the bottom of the least expensive places to live list. 
If you know of any other websites for keeping track of home values, feel free to leave the link in the comments. I’d love to check it out.
