This property was listed at $874,900 and expired after 109 days on market. This listing activity factors into the valuation.

This home was listed at $874,900 and was on the market for 109 days before expiring. Based on comparable sales, the market data suggests a value closer to $891,729. Here are some factors that may have played a role: After 109 days on market, buyer interest typically drops, and listings can become "stale" in buyer perception. The listing had a price reduction during its time on market, which can sometimes affect buyer perception. At $248/sqft, the asking price was 27% above the area median, though there may have been upgrades or features not captured in the data. This home's larger footprint (254 sqft vs the comp average) plays a role in how the market prices it. The smaller lot (0.46 acres versus the area average of 0.58) contributes to the valuation. With 7 comparable sales in SANDY SHORES, this estimate carries a reasonable degree of confidence. This estimate is based entirely on market data. An in person evaluation could refine it further.
