Sale history and market context

MakeMe Estimate: $3.9M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $2.75M to $4.94M (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). The county roll carries a nominal improvement value for this parcel, so the estimate leans on comparable sales and the county-confirmed building area rather than the county land and improvement split. Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.

lower confidence: 3 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 1.7 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point.
