how can i find out how much an apt went to contract for before it closed?

There should be a site that easily provides this data for a fee, as well as forums and details on rentals. But what would we call it?? Let's see...blockeasy...no... roadeasy...no...hmmmm this is difficult...

This may be completely incorrect but I have been told that brokers are not permitted to disclose contract prices prior to closing. No idea why. So, basically, you can't find out the contract price prior to closing.

it is confidential until close -- and frankly nobody's business...

there is no way to find out.

You can find out only when it becomes public record -- i.e., when it is sold. Otherwise there is no way you can find out what the contract price is - unless you know the owners or the buyers personally and they care to share it with you.

"there is no way to find out" does not equal "You can find out only when it becomes public record".

Dwayne - I think it was clear what I intended. Just in case: there is no way to find out what an accepted offer/contract price is UNTIL the contract is completed. Until that point there is no public record of it, and even with a signed contract negotiations can continue - BTDT myself: just b/c a signed Contract exists, until the closing the two parties *can* negotiate (that of course doesn't mean either party will, but they can)

Tandare - I agree, YOU were clear as a bell. I was referring to the incorrect posting by a certain schizophrenic poster with multiple Streeteasy Personality disorder.

Ah, ok, thought you found my posting incomplete :-)
