Is there a way to find the final sale of home for non real estate

[Nick Vashon]

Is there a way to find the final sale of home for non real estate professionals?

I have found the mortgage and deed from my county's registry of deeds but neither show the actual sale price. The mortgage shows the amount that was lent but it does not include any down payment made by the buyer. Furthermore, the deed shows the buyer and seller involved in the transaction and some history about the property but nothing about price.

Is there a public record for the actual sale price of a property?

Are there other public documents that would include the price the home was sold for?

I'm in the State of Maine

Hi Nick, after a while you can find it on the town's tax assessor website. Usually I can find the price on the MLS unless it was an off market sale. I'd be happy to look something up for you if you send me the address.
