The Messtimate™
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 DeKalb 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.
Want a property-specific value review? A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a free comparative market analysis using the home, the lot, its condition, and the live market.
Methodology: the range would be 2,016 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 10, 2026.

Atlanta City Council advances resolution for 22-mile Beltline rail roadmap
A resolution from Council Member Kelsea Bond asks the mayor, MARTA and Beltline leaders to build an implementation and funding roadmap for a $3.5 billion, 22-mile light rail loop. A full Council vote was scheduled for Sept. 21, with a proposed Jan. 26, 2027 deadline for the roadmap. Public comment on the Beltline transit plan closes Nov. 3, 2026.
Why it matters: If funded, Beltline rail could improve transit access to intown neighborhoods and job centers, though no construction start or first segment has been set. The site is about 6 miles west of Scottdale.
Chamblee City Center nears groundbreaking with 340 apartments and 29,000 sq ft of retail
Greystar and Vantage Realty Partners plan a 340-unit multifamily project with about 29,000 square feet of retail and nearly 3 acres of open space on a 7.2-acre site near Chamblee City Hall and the Chamblee MARTA station. Financial closing is expected in mid to late October 2026 with groundbreaking soon after, and the commercial portion targets fall 2027 delivery. The plan includes a 673-space garage and a 1.5-acre central lawn.
Why it matters: The project would add rental housing, restaurants and shops within walking distance of Chamblee MARTA rail, improving transit-linked retail access and housing supply in the area. The project is about 7 miles north of Scottdale, elsewhere in DeKalb County.
The Dunwoody Planning Commission voted unanimously on Aug. 11 to recommend rezoning the 3.42-acre LifeSouth Blood Bank site from Office-Industrial to Perimeter Center (PC-3) for 33 three-bedroom rear-load townhomes. Estimated prices are about $500,000 for the 1,500 square foot plan and $650,000 for the 2,100 square foot plan. The same meeting advanced a 24-home subdivision on Roberts Drive and approved a 10,000 square foot indoor pickleball facility at the Marcus Jewish Community Center.
Why it matters: If approved, the project would add owner-occupied for-sale units to the Perimeter Center employment area, adding to nearby housing inventory within a short commute of offices and the MARTA station. The project is about 11 miles northwest of Scottdale, elsewhere in DeKalb County.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 488 Third Avenue and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 488 Third Avenue was built in 2007 and has 2,016 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 488 Third Avenue in?
488 Third Avenue is in Scottdale, DeKalb County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 488 Third Avenue have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
How are property taxes on 488 Third Avenue estimated?
The estimate on this page (about $4,619 per year) assumes the county reassesses at the list price. Georgia counties reassess after a sale and exemptions such as homestead must be applied for by the new owner, so the seller's current bill is not a guide. Confirm with the county tax assessor.
Is 488 Third Avenue in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill.
