THE EL PASO COUNTY ASSESSOR: www.land.elpasoco.com. The assessor’s values are for tax-assessment purposes and not necessarily for buying and selling. Still, it’s a starting point to determine what a property might be worth. The assessor’s Web site offers information on the size of a home, its age, number of rooms and estimated property taxes. The “comparable search” link allows users to compare prices of nearby home sales.

ZILLOW: www.zillow.com provides estimates of home values. Other online services also provide values, including www.trulia.com and www.yahoo.com.

THE PIKES PEAK ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS: www.ppar.com. Has links to homes marketed by real estate agents as well as statistics on sales, inventory and prices.
