How can I look up how much a home sold for? I used to use nuhabitat but it does not appear to work anymore.

Redfin shows the last list price, not the sale price. Redfin does have a couple of agents in the area, members of the MLS, who would have access to the sale data, but it is not on Redfin's website.

The only way to get this information is to contact a local Realtor. Texas is a non-disclosure state, and the sales price might not be disclosed in MLS.

However, despite Texas being a non-disclosure state, there was a settlement between the Department of Justice and the National Association of Realtors some time ago which essentially means that any consumer signing up to use an agent's Virtual Office Website (think MLS listings and data) can be given the sold price of a home if it is useful to their property search – for example to let them build a picture of home values.

Why is Redfin allowed to publish the Last Sold Prices in non-disclosure states?

Actually Redfin do show the final price and so does homesnap. Homesnap actually show the historic price revisions too during the selling process while Redfin only show the current revisions.

You can try it out but you have to be registered as the only requirement.

HAR.com shows the range a house sold for. It's under home values. To see the actual sales price, you have to be a realtor, or know one.
