In Cook County IL you have several options:
1) www.Cookcountyassessor.com
2) Chicago Tribune has a website that allows you to go back and track sales
3) Local newspapers (www.pioneerlocal.com) is a good souce, a little hard to navigate
4) The most reliable and easiest - ask a realtor.
I would caution that what the current owner paid for a property is a nice piece of info but ultimately not as powerful as you'd think. In a falling market, who cares In a rising market a seller is entitled to the
the increase in equity since he took the risk buying.
What's more important is what you (as a buyer) assign as a value.

Willow has your home as Wilmette, IL. Is there a recorder's or auditor's website in your municipality where you can look up the property records? Sometimes it takes a while for the sale to be reflected on the site but be patient.
Happy New Year,

State of Maryland has a website, you can get all the sales information for any house. There are also a lot of assessor's websites for other states. Google the words "yourtown, assessor property tax" , you may catch something. (I just did for a town in PA)
... and, it's free and anonymous
