Thank you,

Answer
Hola, Florence.
As far as I know, there is not a similar free service to which I can refer you to in Puerto Rico. :(
For the kind of information you need, my suggestion is that you contact any of the providers of comparable sales data in Puerto Rico.  The following are two recognized ones:

Luis Abreu & Associates

Tel 787.765-3243

Fax  787.274.0986

HouseNet, Inc.

You can also check current selling prices of properties similar to yours in the following link:

Finally, if you have a realtor assisting you in the transaction, he/she is also your best source of information and guidance.

Buena suerte.
