How 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.

How It Compares

This home asks about 9.54% more per square foot than the middle price of the similar recent sales. Its asking price is $283 per square foot, compared with $258 across 6 reviewed listing-reported sales from 2026-01-23 to 2026-07-31.
