Hello everyone. I just received a request for a retrospective value for July 1st, 1994. The property is located in Landers which is unincorporated San Bernardino county in California. The oldest sales that show up on my MLS are from 2002.

How does one go about researching the sales for a situation like this? Legend has it that once upon a time there were these things called MLS books but I don't know where to even begin looking for those. Going to the county assessor seems like it might be another route but I can already see the civil servants perplexed look when I ask about sales from 30 years ago! LOL

Any help would be appreciated...thanks in advance.

Pass on the assignment, as I used to tell my old boss, you don't have to accept every assignment.......

My MLS uses Matrix and there is a public records tab. If you have a public records tab then search in there.
