Finding Out How Much Properties Really Go For

[Sheldon Alex]

Hi Everyone,

I'm totally new to real estate, and I've started off looking up houses for sale in my county (let me know if this is a good way of looking for deals starting off BTW). 

I wanted to know if there's a way to look up how much properties have sold for previously, so then I can understand what kind of offer to make and whether a deal is good or not. Thanks. 

Sheldon
