This home was listed at $1,099,900 and was on the market for 44 days before expiring. Based on comparable sales, the market data suggests a value closer to $995,497. Here are some factors that may have played a role: The asking price may have been roughly $104,403 above what comparable homes were selling for in this area. The listing had a price reduction during its time on market, which can sometimes affect buyer perception. At $331/sqft, the asking price was 21% above the area median, though there may have been upgrades or features not captured in the data. At 202 sqft larger than the typical comp, the size difference factors into the valuation. At 5 years older than typical comps, the 2005 build date influences the valuation. With 3 comparable sales in BLUE SKY RANCH, this estimate carries a reasonable degree of confidence. This estimate is based entirely on market data. An in person evaluation could refine it further.
