Price & listing history
Building permits
Comparable recent sales
6 closed sales in Chastain Lakes in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Median of these 6 sales: $580,000 ($182/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales in Chastain Lakes, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $550,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 48% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1985 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- This home: 14 days on market vs. a 19-day community median
- 3 active listings competing
- ≈5.1 months of supply
- 8 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $550,000 ($187/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.
