Are house sale prices not documented publicly in the US?
- ars 14y agoThey are. It's a very strange question to use.
- Osiris 14y agoYes, sale prices can be found in public records. Just look at sites like Zillow, you can look up any property and they'll show you a history (I'm not sure how far back they go) of the sales history of the house.
- natrius 14y agoWhether property sales are public depends on the state you're in. Texas, for instance, doesn't make sale prices public.
- ok_craig 14y agoI guess they are, it just wasn't something I expected to learn at that time in that way. So I guess it isn't really a big privacy issue, just a strange experience. I would have been more comfortable with it if it had been part of the original screening, and not something that popped up randomly before a transaction, after I had already moved money into my account.
