There are three steps I can think of.
Hire a home inspector.
Carefully read the property disclosure.
Order a CLUE report to determine if claims were made on property insurance.
Here's the CLUE link:

Nothing of the sort exists. All you can do is hire a qualified professional home inspector to do a thorough examination of the premises on your behalf.
With CarFax, it's much simpler, since those items are taken to dealerships for service and repair, where records are maintained. With a house, there is no VIN and no records kept in such a manner. |

A Title Report for a house will show the history of the house relative to taxes, liens, ownership, easements and if any "rights" such as mineral rights to the land have been separated or sold separately. Go to the City Planning Department to get information on the property relative to permits (remodel, repair, modification, etc.) You may even be able to get copies of the drawings from microfiche. You usually have to pay for the copies and the drawings might be expensive. If your city or county has an extremely useful website you may be able to get copies of much of the permit paperwork free by going through the online interactive database. You can contract with a Title Company directly or work with a Realtor. Either the Realtor or Title Company can either help with the city research or give a referral to someone who can do this research for you. |

I worked at a law firm for a while, and what they did was contact the local Register of Deeds office, usually it is a county office. For instance, in Wayne County, MI, you contact the Wayne County Register of Deeds. It costs a fee, and various from place to place, but they can give you all the recorded history on the property. Some localities have the information available online for free, others charge a fee to view the records online, some you have to do it the old fashioned way and request it in writing and they mail it. Every place is a little different, but if you contact your local county government or search their website, your will find information on how to access the properties recorded history. The other option is to hire someone to do it, but they will charge you two or three hundred dollars, where as with a little time and effort you can do the research yourself and probably spend less than $50. If you find something suspicious in the history, then contact an attorney.
As far as the physical house itself, you need to have a good home inspection done before any contracts are signed. |

To get all the information on a property the simplest way possible you can always go to a local realtor. This is what they do everyday and a good realtor can get you information. They can help you do a title search, set up inspections, find the market history, and get a "seller's disclosure" from the current sellers (but that is only as accurate as the people filling it out.)
As one responder already pointed out; there is no direct history search for homes that is equivalent to Carfax. However, with good inspections and information you can get a very good picture of what you would be getting into. |

Do a title search. Call your local courts & they can refer you. Its kinda expensive...2 or 3 hundred...but worth it. |

I am a Realtor in San Jose California.
This is the huge reason you need a Realtor to buy a property.
When you get into contract on a property thru a Realtor, you get a certain amount of time to approve disclosures, this time frame is on the Realtors contracts that you sign, check these over carefully, a good Realtor will be covering all of this. Also here in California we have a report called a Clue Report it will also show any insurance issues that you may want to be aware of.
I hope this helps!
