Overview
The LightBox Transactions API provides access to decades of historical real estate transaction records across the United States. Transaction records include both arm's length and non-arm's length transfers and can contain sale price, transaction and recording dates, grantor and grantee information, deed details, lender information, loan amounts, and document identifiers. Transactions are connected to LightBox property entities through persistent identifiers, enabling developers and analysts to combine transaction history with parcel, assessment, structure, and property information.
