📍Location Check

Some amenities nearby, but not everything

A few essentials within reach, though some errands will require more of a drive.

🏠 Location checks out — nothing that would scare a buyer off, but nothing that jumps out as a premium either.

💰Price Check

Looks in range for the area

In line with 13 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

Limited market demand data

We couldn't pull enough market activity data for a confident read on demand.

🏠 Market activity looks moderate — not red hot, not cold. In this kind of market, the homes that are priced right and show well move first.

🌿Environmental Risk

High radon risk — testing recommended

This is worth factoring into your decision — review details in the full report below.

🏠 High radon area — testing is a must during inspection. Mitigation is usually a few hundred dollars, but you need to know before you close.

🏠Property Fit

Mostly in line with nearby homes

older build (1917) — 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

  • Request a radon test during your inspection period
  • 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 — $255K to $287K. 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 1917 build (109 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.

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