In all realty the current market value is what someone is willing to pay for your home.There are several sites that will estimate this, but no one except the buyer and seller can determine this accurately.

I know that's not accurate.

They're done for purposes of taxes, not selling.None of the sites you mention will give an accurate value.

Originally posted by Steve Babiak:Andrew, foreclosure.com and foreclosures.com are two independent operations.Both of which can take up to 3 weeks to get the info on their site and often is incorrect or not valid as Chris explained.If you want accurate and up to date info, you have to pay for it.

Stephen -I'm a numbers guy, so I'm generally going to look for well thought out financial analyses and accurate pro-formas (with extra detail available to back them up).If I don't know you well, I'd want a good bit of detail on your experience and track-record, and a clear idea how the remainder of funds you're looking to raise will be achieved (along with a contingency plan if you can't raise them).Pictures are always good too...

But next time I'll have a more accurate budget and timeline going in.

thanks.I thought buying at tax sale was kind of a gamble / football game.

What books are out there with real, accurate real estate information?

In my area, zillow is more popular with the common person so knowing those numbers is more important, accurate or not.

... as lenders, we want one correct number that accurately represents the project.
