OpenHouse

No reliable, complete database cataloging home sales data at a transaction level is available for the average person to access.

Opportunities like testing sociological theories, exploring economic impacts, study market forces, or simply research the value of an investment when buying a home are all blocked by the lack of easy access to this dataset.
