While not a true nationwide service, many states can be found in First American Real Estate's WIN2Data program. You'll pay a pretty penny, however, and the parcel data (at least the last time I worked with it in 2001) is a combination of scanned plat maps and a very in-depth database. I spent about a year digitizing from the plats and linking to the data while working for some developers in Phoenix.
Here at Aerials Express, we are busy collecting parcel data for the cities we have flown, and have found that more and more assessors are making the data available. Some counties charge an outrageous fee, Maricopa county (Phoenix) for example wants 10 cents a parcel (about $30,000.00) while counties in Florida are bound by law to make good data available in .shp file format for the cost of burning it to a CD. Some don't mind if you provide the data to others at no cost, others have licensing that forbids it. As GIS proliferates into the residential real estate market, we expect to see more standardization and policy, perhaps with some help from our federal friends at USGS or NGA (formerly NIMA.)
Just my 2 cents,

If DataQuick, Nexis/Lexis (via IDM), or some other firm like that were to become interested in this area, then a lot of the data could get collected. They already have relationships with county assessors and the like, as part of collecting other sorts of public records information that is used to support the mortgage industry, and parcel maps are certainly related to this.
The data is so scattered that even if it were all readily available, it would be a Herculean task to collect it together and put it in a common format.

So far response has been low... A GIS Manager from NC brought up a good point, that there are so many small 'Stickville, USA' types of towns that it would be very unlikely that these would be available.
With that being said, parcel data is still public domain, and each county in the US should have an assessors office that one could walk into and make copies of what he/she wanted. I'm thinking that what we need is a warehouse for all this data...After some research I was able to find http://www.boundarysolutions.com/
