Insider info, please

My husband & I have been watching a couple of houses in Oceanside on Championship Way 1**8, and 1*28. They have sat empty since at least January and have continued to drop their prices.
I can’t find them on Zillow, and tried to look them up with the county asseseors office to see if they have paid their taxes and come up with nothing. Does that mean they haven’t paid them, or what?
Any ideas what the original purchase price was?
Any info would be helpful, thanks.

Here’s the link for prior sales. Go to town.

Thanks for the link, but I get the same bunch of nothing as I do when I checked on property taxes. I can’t figure out why I can’t get any info. There are 3 different houses on the same street. Does it have to do with it being a new developement? That doesn’t make any sense to me, but that isn’t necessarily a suprise, lol

Were you able to get the sales information? That’s definitely there.

For the property tax data, I tried both address and parcel number with no luck. My guess would be they’re not in the system yet.

BTW, did you notice the information on 1**1 Championship? Closed for $996k in January. Current asking price of $900k.

OUCH!
That’s gotta hurt, especially since it has been sitting empty this entire time.
Thanks for your help, I’m a goof ball, I wasn’t using capital letters for the address.

I put in my address, and got “No results returned”. I tried CAPS, with and without street number. zillow.com has sales history. If all else fails, ask a realtor.

Yeah, I couldn’t get mine to come either, but I figured maybe that was because I have lived here for 15 yrs. One of those people that wouldn’t sell my house with a gun to my head!
The one I have been tracking doesn’t come up in Zillow, I thought maybe because it is such a new developement.

MIne was sold less than 2 years ago. It should show up.

PS,

The county web page only provides sales within the previous two years.

[novice1027]

Well that makes sense.
Thanks for your help, otherwise I’d still be here trying to type it every which way.

I’m less than 2 years… Didn’t I say that?

[North County Jim]

PS,

Try this.

Thanks. You need to enter the street abbreviation as the County has it.

LANE must be entered LN. The abbreviations are listed in a drop-down menu on the tax assessor link I gave last week. There you only get to see the taxes due and paid for the street.
