Sale history and market context

MakeMe Estimate: $3.05M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $2.21M to $3.78M (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: 7 comparable sales within 3 miles; nearest 0.3 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Recent sale check: this building sold for $2,525,000 in 2023; the estimate is about 21% apart. Treat the recorded trade as strong evidence alongside the model. Comparable-sale caveat: the estimate is 28% below the $339.39/SF median of the shown comparable sales.
