Sale history and market context

MakeMe Estimate: $782K (estimated market value), with a likely range of $624K to $927K (half of recent verified sales in this segment landed inside that range). Computed as the county's full cash value of $619,300 times a 1.26 market ratio, measured from 3891 verified arm's-length sale prices vs county values (multifamily sales across the county, through 2026-06-29). Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.

lower confidence: 67 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 0 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Last arm's-length sale: $525,000 in 2021. The market has moved since; the estimate reflects current county values and ratios, not that price. Comparable-sale caveat: the estimate is 27% above the $237.12/SF median of the shown comparable sales.
