Looking for home sale data

Question

I'm looking for home sale data that includes info such as address, sale price, home type, sq. ft., etc. Where (what dataset(s)) can I get that data from? Thanks.

Answer 1

nationwide, the biggest and best data set you're going to get is

but if you can use a survey instead, start with

and check other surveys on asdfree.com that have household-level statistics like acs, nychvs, and maybe scf
