PropertyShark helps you research your next home purchase
Type in any address and PropertyShark will either locate the property or nearby sites if the address isn't available for some reason. You can get all sorts of information includign the assessed market value, property tax figures, square footage of the house and the lot, and even zoning information for the area. What's more, you'll find a series of maps showing population density, demographic information, and the height of other buildings in the area. There's also data available about the last known sale price, but you need to register for a free account to see some of this info.
