03Why it matters

Every transfer is a change of owner; combined with deed type it reveals inheritances, gifts and foreclosures.

04Where it shows up in public records

Recorded deeds at the county recorder or clerk.

05How to find any transfer in 3 steps

  • Step 1, find the record: recorded deeds at the county recorder or clerk.
  • Step 2, match it to the property: join the record to the parcel by its parcel number and the owner's name and address, so you know which house it belongs to.
  • Step 3, add a second reason: stack any transfer with another list to see which owners have more than one reason to sell. LeadCounty does steps 1 and 2 for every property each week.

06How we count it

LeadCounty counts any transfer from each county's own records and shows the number for every county in the table above, refreshed weekly. A county that does not publish the record shows no count rather than a guess.

07How to use it

  • Filter by deed type for the transfers that matter to you.

08Best stacks with any transfer

One list gives you a reason; two or three lists together give you owners with several reasons at once. The stacks that work best with any transfer:

  • Any transfer + $0 transfer: a $0 family transfer often marks a life change.
  • Any transfer + inheritance deed: the house came through an inheritance deed, often to heirs who did not plan to own it.

A letter for any transfer ownersFor heirs (people only: companies and trusts are left out)

Dear [first name],

I'm sorry for your loss. I noticed the property at [property address] passed to your family [passed when], and I know that handling a house is one more thing on a long list.

If you are thinking about selling, I can buy it as-is: no repairs, no clean-out, no agent fees, and a closing date that suits you and the other heirs.
