MakeMe Estimate: $1.64M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $1.18M to $2.06M (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). Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.
lower confidence: 0 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 4.6 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Recent sale check: this building sold for $1,850,000 in 2023; the estimate is about 11% apart. Treat the recorded trade as strong evidence alongside the model. Comparable-sale caveat: the estimate is well above (more than double apart from) the $525.11/SF median of the shown comparable sales.
