Zillow is a good website for general info., how long it's been on the market, taxes, previous owners, selling prices, etc. Typically, Zillow's estimated value of the house is too low. Zillow had our house back north estimated too low, we sold it in a week for $80K more. Then Zillow adjusted the estimated value to our selling price. They may be more accurate here in TV, not sure? When we were looking at used homes in June, we told our Real Estate agent that we wanted to see a new listing when we arrive at TV in 3 days. She told us to make an offer sight unseen pending our walkthrough when we arrive. I said to her, "are you nuts, make an offer without seeing it first?" She said, "I don't think it will last" She was right, the next day, they accepted an offer and boy did I have get an ear full from my wife.....we ended up buying new, because there just wasn't much available used in our price range that we liked. Best of luck in your search.
