In line with 10 recent comparable sales nearby.

🏠 The numbers look solid — but upgrades you can't see in data could push this higher or lower. That's what the walk-through is for.

📊Market Demand

Demand looks softer here

11% vacancy rate is above average — worth understanding why.

🏠 Homes are sitting longer than usual here — 100.35 days average. Pricing accuracy and presentation matter even more in this market.

🌿Environmental Risk

No major environmental concerns identified

Minimal flood risk, no Superfund or toxic release sites flagged in this area.

🏠 No major environmental red flags — that's one less thing to worry about. Always good to see a clean environmental picture.

🏠Property Fit

Mostly in line with nearby homes

older build (1891) — major systems may need attention.

🏠 Anything built before 1980, I'm looking at the roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical first. Those are the big-ticket surprises that can shift the value $20K or more.

What to Verify Next

  • Ask a local agent about recent trends and why vacancy is elevated
  • Have HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roof inspected
  • Confirm permit history with the county
  • Review recent nearby closed sales

Agent's Comments

From the mind of a top producing real estate agent

This is just a range of potential value — $1.2M to $1.4M. We had 8 strong comparable sales to work with, so I feel good about this range. If the property needs a lot of work, it would sit at the lower end — and we can position it for a cash investor. If it has all the upgrades — new kitchen, updated baths, hardwood floors, a screened-in porch, pool, or other features we can't see in this report — it could push the value well above this range. That's what a walk-through tells us that the data can't. With a 1891 build (135 years old), I'd also want to know the condition of the roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical before putting a firm number on it. Those are the big-ticket surprises. Properties like this are harder to comp — every one is unique. The data gives us a baseline, but the real value comes down to the walk-through and what a buyer is willing to pay for the features that make this one special.

This commentary is generated from public data and comparable sales — not a formal appraisal. A walk-through and local agent analysis are always recommended.
