JG -the data source for the mortgages is from Sandicor / MLS through their tax records, or it can be found on other public records that appraisers pay for by the month, like NDC Data or Metroscan. I don’t think you can find out what type of loan it was, however.

Powayseller – Property #1 sold 4-04, and Property #2 sold 7-04, so the three month time difference may have been important at that time, since that is around when inventory was at its’ lowest. The second buyer also appears to have been the high bidder in a multiple offer situation, which probably pushed the sale price up. In general, it seems that properties that sold in 2004 and have resold this year are still selling at higher prices now, usually 5-15% or more. Properties that sold in 2005 are usually the only ones that have had any dollar decline to the present. It’s rare, (to this point), to see a SFR bought in 2004 that has declined as much as this one.
