Sale history and market context

MakeMe Estimate: $144K (estimated market value), with a likely range of $101K to $183K (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 1.4 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Comparable-sale caveat: the estimate is 95% below the $623.82/SF median of the shown comparable sales.
