MakeMe Estimate: $2.51M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $1.84M to $3.06M (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: 2 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 0.9 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Comparable-sale caveat: the estimate is 81% above the $554.30/SF median of the shown comparable sales.

The shaded range is the model's measured error band; about half of verified sales in the segment land inside it. Diamonds: recorded arm's-length sales. Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.
