MakeMe Estimate: $1.91M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $1.55M to $2.21M (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: 2 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 0.8 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Recent sale check: this building sold for $1,800,000 in 2023; the estimate is about 6% apart. Treat the recorded trade as strong evidence alongside the model. Comparable-sale caveat: the estimate is 40% 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.
