Most city governments have a website that will tell you what the property taxes are on each address in the city along with how many square feet in the house and property and their value or the price the house last sold at.  Once you have info about the house, you can look online to see what other houses in a similar neighborhood of a similar size and quality are selling for.

Go to the register of deeds for that county and ask him.  It's public record who owns real property.  In my county it can be looked up on the internet, but most counties don't have this yet.  You should also be able to find out the price they paid and when and also how much the property taxes are.  Good luck!

You can use http://www.homeinfomax.com - you will need to subscribe for accessing property records (it's not a free service), but then you can instantly search by having only the property owner's last name and find all real estate properties (with detailed information) owned by that person within the city, county or ZIP code.

http://www.zillow.com\n\nI have found for my city I can get within 10% quite often with one caveat. If the house has not had updates that are not listed. If there not there how could they possibly get it right?\n\nI also look at the price as more of a what-its-worth-if-its-in-average-condition-for-the-area price. It is very useful for me if I already know the area. And as well you can get info for previous sales which is very helpful if you want to buy it from someone to figure out where they are at with it.\n\nsource quote:\n"Last year, according to the National Association of Realtors, 77 percent of home buyers used the Internet for research and 24 percent said they found their home online. Zillow.com offers free valuations for more than 40 million homes across the United States and has data on an additional 20 million homes. The property values, or "Zestimates," are only within 10 percent of the right price 62 percent of the time, and the accuracy varies widely by county and state, ranging from a low of 47 percent for New York to a high of 82 percent for Nebraska. The company says there is no data available for Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota and South Dakota because of state disclosure laws. "

Go get an appraisal.  It will cost $250-$300 depending on your area.  Look in the yellow pages under "home appraisal" or "appraisal - home".\n\nIf it has already been sold, go to your county auditor, or county treasurer.  Also look in the phone book or call your mayor's office (or county/parish offices) and ask them where to go to find the county real estate records.  It also might be called the "recorder's office".\n\nIf it has been sold by your husband, subpeona him for a copy of the "Settlement Statement" or "HUD-1" to see exactly what it sold for and the fees/costs associated with the sale.
