I suspect from your terminology that you are not in the UK. If you are, then this site should tell you (perhaps it may take a while for the price to show, but it will eventually, since the Land Registry data is where it comes from.)

If you are not in the UK, it may be more difficult. Try Googling for 'property prices' and add your country, state or whatever to filter it.
This is a matter of public record and would be at your County Hall of Records - but be prepared to wait as it's not available until after recordation and can take months after the sale closes.

Or you can look it up at the site below. Again, it'll take a long time to show up.Where can I find totally free public records for a house purhcase?
The town or county office buildings. You would have to speak to an assor or tax cleric. If you call you local office they will direct you to the person you will need to talk to about that. BUt if you want to find out about the selling price on a house you could you could check the annual assors records that are published in the local paper every 3 to 5 months.Where can I find totally free public records for a house purhcase?
There is a delay, but usually the jurisdiction will list the home assements and sales on their websites.



Alternatively the real estate agent you use to write a contract should be able to find out what the amount of the winning contract.
contact the township where the bid was put thru
look up the purchase on your county website..I don't know how up to date they are but you can get the records there. you can even find out what all you neighbors paid for their houses and the taxes they pay.
I would say use zillow.com you should be able to get the assesed value, price of comps, information such as sq. ft, taxes, # of beds and bath of the home to name a few. But note that it get updated once the county/city information gets updated. For me, this is a one stop shop!
The county is the cheapest source for that information, and it may not be completely free. They may charge you some money for a document search. About two weeks or so after the sale, it'll get into the automated systems from which places like title companies and realist get their information. You can ask your agent to look it up then.



Move on. Even if it sold for less money there's nothing you can do.
Go to the Court house and look it up yourself. Only way you can get it done for free.
