I am planning to buy a house. I need to know how the prices have moved in my area during the past decade. Real estate prices are very local phenomena, so general US statistics usually do not help/matter.
Many thanks to the those who have answered so far. I don’t see condo listings on zillow.com. Any pointers?

We are looking to buy a house. We found a real estate agent before we found the house we really want. It’s a foreclosed home. How does the real estate agent get paid?
