Source checked 2026-10-27T06:22:05ZHow RET evaluates properties
The listing facts come from the MLS; RET has not inspected the home. RET compares similar home types, sizes and waterfront settings. Check condition, measurements and any seller credits directly. Asking prices show what sellers want; completed sales show what buyers paid. RET Select also requires a clear reason to choose the home and a current review of its risks. This is not an appraisal or an offer recommendation.
Read the selection standard ↗How It Compares
This home asks about 5.35% less per square foot than the middle price of the similar recent sales. Its asking price is $358 per square foot, compared with $378 across 6 reviewed listing-reported sales from 2026-02-19 to 2026-10-08. Price per square foot divides the price by indoor living area; it helps compare homes of different sizes.
Comparison confidence: High. At least four recent sales in the same subdivision meet the tighter size and age rules. Condition, renovation and seller credits have not been priced into the difference. This is not an appraisal.
