Historic property prices (dating back to the 70s/80s) (sales, housing, Realtor) - Real Estate -Brokers, appraisals, development, lease, investing, relocation, apartments, houses, condos, values, mortgages, loans... - City-Data Forum

Hi there,
does anybody know whether where I could find property prices and graphs dating back into the 70s or 80s - for a specific city or county?
I don't really know where to look for this kind of data in general and Google only delivers garbage.

Thanks!

Housing Bubble Graphs: Charts of inflation-adjusted, historical home prices. (http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeqrguz/housingbubble/ - broken link) for larger areas.

I look at zillow.com at individual homes to see past sales prices.

What do you intend to do with this information?

What state are you in? I ask because such information is not public information in all states.

Check NAR, they have lots of data compilations. Why do you want it out of curiosity?

The data should be available from a local government in your area. In some cases it is prohibited by state law.

It requires a great deal of work to turn this data into graphs and statistical summaries.

First of all, thanks for the links!

I am looking for info on Floria but I am not a Fl resident (and have no way to go there and go through stacks of paper).

What I am looking for in general is this: the impact of a greatly infrastructure on prices of land and property.
Say: a new interstate, an airport, a bridge.. fundamentally improved access to the area, perhaps new jobs, tourism etc.

I figured that Florida has several spots where this has happened in the past.

Has anyone invested in Florida for perhaps more than a decade?

Many Florida counties now have their tax and sales records online. Search for "Fill-in-the-blank county tax collector' and you can get yourself the raw data, though you'll probably have to do a fair amount of work to get it into the format you want.
