The new update makes finding recorded sales on StreetEasy easier, however we have always provided that information on our site. We are a real estate information website, and we provide data that helps people rent, sell, buy, and learn more about the real estate market.
It's all on the NYC ACRIS site as well (in fact, I believe SE sources the data from there). Cash and non-cash buyers alike, as these are public records, much in the way that deeds and recorded mortgages, liens, etc. are. It has never been different, except now you don't have to make a trip to the county records clerk. Sadly, the privacy ship sailed some time ago and we didn't notice, since we were too distracted by other shiny new internet data toys.
For the most part, Streeteasy is private. There was that one example about the B_____n R____t a month or so back, and of course the Poll Tax issue.
Property sales data is in the public domain in almost all jurisdictions in the US. This is our world now and we have to learn to live with it.
