Historical transaction data is not available for this home.

Profile picture for SteadyState
I believe this may have been asked before - I see many homes without transaction history. On Zillow the property history states: "Historical transaction data is not available for this home."
On many of these homes however, the property taxes jumped up by 16% in 2008/2009. I assume that the jump took place because of a "sale" because the accessed value of the property is roughly the same (it is increasing by 2% each year). Is this correct to assume that a sale did occur in 2008/2009? How does one get the sales history of a home (without contacting a REA as I feel it is not kosher to contact an REA until I am ready to buy a particular home and I do not want to feel obligated to any particular agent).

Do not assume anything. Many old timer home owners receive property tax estimates from the County Tax assessor due to fluctuations in neighborhood prices.

This is common as a distressed property or a overbid sold home affect the way data are presented.

Since you don't want to contact a REA, another option would be to go to the County Recorder's Office.
