A: PropertyShark.com is by no means new (most real estate blogs link to them) but I can't help but notice that many of my clients still ask me about this type of information when all they need to do is go to this website! Just type in a building address and you will retrieve consolidated NYC property records that includes owner info, title history, taxes, violations, permits, demographics, foreclosures, sales comparables, toxic hazards, air rights, and more. A truly great resource for any buyer or seller.

PropertyShark.com lets you do a search in a number of ways:

1. Which have recently sold and what they sold for
2. By neighborhood, size, and type
3. Which are in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure
4. By owner's name
5. Which are actively for sale

The site is also not restricted to NYC, as they now cover over 20 million properties in 15 major markets. Combining public data with proprietary data and technology, the PropertyShark.com team strives to level the playing field to allow all people to access data that was previously only available to a select few.

definitely worth the time to visit and bookmark for future use!
