Estimated ownership costs for general information. Confirm each with the county, your lender, and an insurer. See data & estimate notes.

Property tax (first-year est.)
~$5,198/yr

Estimate: a typical Clarke effective rate applied to the list price before any exemptions. Florida bills change with reassessment, homestead and other exemptions, and local taxing districts — this is not your expected bill. Confirm with the county property appraiser.

None on record

No CDD assessment appears in our records for this community. CDD assessments show on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector.

Insurance (illustrative range)
$2k–$4k/yr

An illustrative modeled range, not based on carrier underwriting and not a quote. Florida premiums vary significantly by roof age, wind-mitigation features, claims history, and carrier — a real quote can land well outside this range. Flood zone not verified for this address — check msc.fema.gov and confirm coverage. Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.

HOA
None reported

The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no mandatory association applies.

Environmental data

Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.

How it stacks up

Comparable recent sales

6 closed sales within about 3 miles 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: $516,000 ($320/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.

The Messtimate™

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.

$404,560the mess$530,596

Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.

Actual list price: $495,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 31% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & updates — a 1972 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:

  • 3 active listings competing

For reference, this home is listed at $495,000 ($318/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Recent Davis Estates news

Recent local developments near this home, compiled from news and public sources. Provided for general information; verify details with the original source.

Oct 2026 · Development

Planning Commission backs 181-unit apartment project west of downtown Athens

Cardinal Group proposes 181 apartments with 425 bedrooms plus eight townhouses on the block bounded by West Broad, Finley, Reese and Pope streets. The six-story project has 211 parking spaces. The Planning Commission narrowly recommended the C-D rezoning on Oct. 1, and stream permits and historic review are still needed.

Why it matters: Would add rental inventory close to downtown, increasing housing supply and foot traffic west of the core if approved. The site is about 2 miles north of Davis Estates.

Sep 2026 · Infrastructure

SR 316 and Oconee Connector bridge work cuts lanes on the Connector

Archer Western is building two bridges to carry SR 316 over the Oconee Connector, with a separate bridge and ramps for Jimmy Daniell Road. The Connector dropped to one through lane per direction starting Sept. 18, and Jimmy Daniell Road closed Sept. 14 for about six months. Work at the intersections is projected to last at least through the end of 2028.

Why it matters: Expect multi-year lane restrictions on a key Athens to Oconee commuter route, followed by a grade-separated interchange. The site is about 3 miles west of Davis Estates.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 280 Davis Street, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1972 (54 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
  • Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
  • Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Clarke County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
  • Listed living area is 1,556 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
  • Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
  • Review permit history with the county.
  • Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $5,198/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
  • School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.
