Sale history and market context

MakeMe Estimate: $2.01M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $1.61M to $2.39M (half of recent verified sales in this segment landed inside that range). Computed as the county's full cash value of $1,595,600 times a 1.26 market ratio, measured from 3891 verified arm's-length sale prices vs county values (multifamily sales across the county, through 2026-06-29). Not an appraisal. How this estimate works. About $144K per unit at the midpoint (14 units).

lower confidence: 28 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 0.5 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point.
