What do you use for Online Comp research?

[Gary Dayton]

I was using Yahoo real Estate to look at comps but Yahoo Real estate uses Zillow, eppraisal and Reply which seem inflated.. I looked at a property listed for $229K and it showed up as $340K-420K. Another listed for $209,500 showed $300K-$360K. Does anyone bank on these numbers? I can only imagine what the sellers will think if I put in a significantly less offer.

Now I know from reading a Wheatie post that the ROI appears too good to be true. How does this happen?

Because I'm overseas I wanted to find a fairly reliable site. Does anyone have any that are closer to realistic?

Thanks in advance
Gary

I use RealtyTrac, I have found it the most informative and up to date listing service. It provides Information on: Pre-Foreclosures, REO's (bank owned), auction, and FSBO PROPERTIES.
