It does well for RE. Tokina 11-16 is faster better regarded but the Sigma has been great for RE.
I own II and not this newest version to personally compare them, but I'd definitely spend the extra $40 to buy new unless you want to find a better deal for II. It sounds like maybe you don't realize that this new version includes a lens hood?

Also please make sure your camera is an APS-C sensor (cropped, and not full frame or mirrorless) if you buy this. It would only work on two of my seven Canon cameras, and those are the two I loan to anyone and don't care what happens to them!
At the same time, I would not recommend a crop sensor camera for real estate photos. it makes cramped interiors very difficult.
By all accounts this lens is sharp, which is incredibly rare in this price category.

The DX-II is definitely available even cheaper used, but I just prefer to buy used lenses that are in new condition. But with hood included spending the extra $40 for new is a no-brainer.
Ken Rockwell doesn't have a review I can find for this specific version of it, but supposedly the lens is functionally identical to the last version, and there's great info here:

Can you explain what you mean when you say "I would not recommend a crop sensor camera for real estate photos. it makes cramped interiors very difficult." Are you referring to the crop factor making this lens behave like a 16 - 24 mm lens? Are there other reasons for avoiding CF cameras for RE.
