How it stacks up

Comparable recent sales

No closed sales of a similar home within about 10 miles in DeKalb County in the last 18 months are in our MLS data set, so this page shows no comparable-sales median or automated estimate for North Decatur Courtyards. A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a property-specific comparative market analysis on request.

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. None 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 1,285 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.

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 North Decatur Courtyards, elsewhere in DeKalb County.

Dunwoody Planning Commission backs 33 townhomes at 4891 Ashford Dunwoody Road

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 9 miles north of North Decatur Courtyards, elsewhere in DeKalb County.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 494 Sherman Way, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1985 (41 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • Condominium: request the association's budget, reserves, the most recent milestone or structural inspection report, and two years of meeting minutes before relying on the dues.
  • 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 DeKalb County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
  • Listed living area is 1,285 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 $2,625/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.

Frequently asked questions

How big is 494 Sherman Way and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 494 Sherman Way was built in 1985 and has 1,285 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 494 Sherman Way in?

494 Sherman Way is in North Decatur Courtyards in Decatur, 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.

How are property taxes on 494 Sherman Way estimated?

The estimate on this page (about $2,625 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 494 Sherman Way 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.
