Sale history and market context

MakeMe Estimate: $1.42M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $1.14M to $1.69M (half of recent verified sales in this segment landed inside that range). Computed as the county's full cash value of $1,115,323 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: 1 comparable sale within 3 miles; nearest 1.6 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Comparable-sale caveat: the estimate is well above (more than 3x apart from) the $326.16/SF median of the shown comparable sales.
