Hi StillHope,
it's still unusual for anyone to offer MORE than asking price when a property has been on the market that long.
I know you can get sales history from the public site, if you know what property you're looking for. I meant data on recent sales in the area, comps, which Zillow tries to do, but doesn't do all that well.
Only someone who subscribes to the MLS for agents can see the history of a listing, when price reductions were made, whether it is back on market after being in escrow, stuff like that which can be quite interesting and helpful.
