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: $625,000 ($178/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.

$583,605the mess$682,641

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: $625,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 17% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
  • 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:

  • 2 active listings competing

For reference, this home is listed at $625,000 ($177/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 2985 Ivy Brook Lane, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 2004 (22 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
  • 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 Gwinnett County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
  • Listed living area is 3,537 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 $6,562/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.
