I know some of you guys have some sort of cluepon about $'s and houses.

Is there a good method for checking the sale history for a house or area?

www.onthehouse.com.au

fairly new website (1 month?), but the ability to now do these searches for free rules!

cool, my house is on there even though it was a private sale

Pretty cool indeed.

in the ACT we have allhomes.com.au it is amazing. Every house ever sold searchable by maps or street+log. It even includes rentals. It's the #1 realestate site by far. Includes prices, photos from previous sales, photos from rentals, landtax, etc.

I saw an advert on sydney tv for a website that's started doing this, but i imagine it's pay/use.

All states should be required to provide this info for free.

that's pretty cool indeed. i can see my house and i can also see my nana's old house - 30k in 1980 (they did heaps of reno work) to 530k in 2003. It'd be worth a mil by now.

onthehouse has 0 data on mine .. I bought it privately last year but its 10 years old and i can only assume its been through a few hands
it found the property address and everything, just 0 data

Some of the interesting ones are around mt cootha, eg sold one year for 1.2mill,few months later for 300,000 then back to 2.5 a couple of months later... very dodgy stuff

I wouldn't put 100% trust in that site. The sale price on my house is off by quite a bit.

dafugg, you're obviously searching wrong. it gets the prices from a database, that actually costs money to look at.

I can confirm it's not always right, or doesn't always contain info on some properties

Used to work in real estate, the one we used was rpdata.com.au

Actually scrap that, I think you have to pay for just about everthing on that site now days

They have been advertising this on the TV for retail users (not industry): myrp.com.au

don't know if it's any good though

well sandy sally. If it costs money then it MUST be right! All those products I produce must be perfect at work because they cost money and use databases. f*** yeah.

i use pdslive. if u need a proper check PM me.

I laugh at your logic

rpdata if you can get access to it :]
