as far as i know zillow uses tax assessments to estimate the value of a home.

I like to use www.HomePriceMaps.com because they show how much homes were SOLD for using the google mapping technology.

also-if you don't see HomePriceMaps for your area, simply email them your address and or zip and they'll update the site within a day or two and send you a follow-up email.

Thanks for the tip. I know that Zillow uses a variety of different data sources, depending on what's available in the area. For example, in Vancouver, Washington, they actually do have the sell price of the house I recently purchased. But for other cities they very well might only have tax assessor data.

Personally, I like the additional data that Zillow provides, but HomePriceMaps is a good site to fall back on if Zillow doesn't have that data for your area.

Your post is just in time. My sister and I are planning to buy a house but I are always doubtful and skeptical about real estate agents.
