Prices shown are asking prices and exclude acquisition costs such as agency commission, registration tax and real-estate acquisition tax. Condition has to be verified on site.
Finding it is the easy part
The checks above are the actual work, and a free account is where you do them. Pull the parcel by its lot number, put road frontage, zoning, hazard and land-price layers over the same map, and order the registration record to confirm who owns the property and what is secured against it. Save the ones you are considering and track their price changes.
