Sale history and market context

MakeMe Estimate: $2.45M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $1.96M to $2.9M (half of recent verified sales in this segment landed inside that range). Computed as the county's full cash value of $1,841,515 times a 1.33 market ratio, measured from 3891 verified arm's-length sale prices vs county values (retail sales in Phoenix, through 2026-06-29). Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.

lower confidence: 12 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 0.6 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Last arm's-length sale: $1,800,000 in 2022. The market has moved since; the estimate reflects current county values and ratios, not that price.
