📍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 18 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

Low vacancy, high homeownership

low vacancy (2%), 77% owner-occupied — relatively strong demand signals for this ZIP.

🏠 Low vacancy and high homeownership — that tells me people move here and stay. Good sign for your investment.

🌿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 (1957) — 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

  • Have HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roof inspected
  • Confirm permit history with the county
  • Verify school assignment boundaries with the district
  • 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 — $563K to $635K. 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 1957 build (69 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.
