Sale history and market context

MakeMe Estimate: $932K (estimated market value), with a likely range of $744K to $1.1M (half of recent verified sales in this segment landed inside that range). Computed as the county's full cash value of $730,111 times a 1.28 market ratio, measured from 3891 verified arm's-length sale prices vs county values (commercial sales in Phoenix, through 2026-06-29). Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.

lower confidence: 5 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 1 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Last arm's-length sale: $275,000 in 2022. The market has moved since; the estimate reflects current county values and ratios, not that price. Comparable-sale caveat: the estimate is 30% below the $261.90/SF median of the shown comparable sales.
