MakeMe Estimate: $4.27M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $3.46M to $4.95M (half of recent verified sales in this segment landed inside that range). Based on 8 verified arm's-length comparable sales (through 2026-06-01). Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.
lower confidence: 5 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 1.1 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Recent sale check: this building sold for $3,900,000 in 2024; the estimate is about 10% apart. Treat the recorded trade as strong evidence alongside the model. Comparable-sale caveat: the estimate is well above (more than 3x apart from) the $162.83/SF median of the shown comparable sales.
