Price & listing history
Building permits
Comparable recent sales
Only 2 closed sales within about 10 miles in Lumpkin County in the last 18 months matched this home’s type and size. Fewer than 3 is too few for a median, so none is shown.
Limited comparable data: these sales are listed for reference only. A licensed agent can prepare a property-specific comparative market analysis. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in Lumpkin County in the last 18 months. Only 2 qualify for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Methodology: the range would be 2,880 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 1, 2026.
Momentum Property Score
61/100 is solid, mid-pack across the objective indicators below. It reflects only those measures — not the home’s quality, condition, or desirability.
A 0-100 score built from objective property and market data: flood risk, insurance, pricing, supply, affordability, and recent sales. Higher means more measures line up in a buyer’s favor. It reflects only the factors below.
Coverage: 4 of 8 indicators had valid data for this home; indicators without data are left out, not scored as zero. Momentum Scores are objective, rules-based indicators computed from listing facts, public records, and recent comparable sales. They do not measure property condition, quality, or investment suitability, and they are not appraisals, valuations, investment advice, or judgments about a neighborhood or who should live there.
