Median of these 6 sales: $595,500 ($231/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.
$804,111the mess$918,984
Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales in River Gardens, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $685,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 14% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a 1986 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 — this home carries HOA dues of $13/mo; with insurance and any seller-paid buydown, that changes what a buyer actually pays, and a sq ft estimate ignores all of it.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
This home: 91 days on market vs. a 56-day community median
3 active listings competing
6 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $685,000 ($197/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Escambia Planning Board to hear rezoning for 540-acre Outlying Fields site in Beulah
The Escambia County Planning Board was set to hear rezoning and land-use changes on October 6 for the former Navy Outlying Landing Field 8 next to the Navy Federal Credit Union campus. The roughly 540-acre plan includes 1,000 to 1,500 housing units, 23 acres for health-related facilities along Nine Mile Road, retail and restaurants, and an Employment, Technology and Innovation district. County staff found the changes consistent with the comprehensive plan, and FDOT expects no added trip generation.
Why it matters: The plan would add housing, commercial space and employer land in the Beulah area near Nine Mile Road, which could change local retail access, commute patterns and housing supply. The site is about 7 miles west of River Gardens.
Pensacola mayor says new airport terminal construction starts next week
At a September 17 briefing, Mayor D.C. Reeves said the notice to proceed for the new terminal at Pensacola International Airport would be issued the following week, with site preparation starting shortly after. He described it as a nine-figure investment. A separate 600-space parking expansion still needs construction funding.
Why it matters: Terminal construction signals added air-travel capacity at the airport and construction activity near the airport corridor. The site is about 4 miles south of River Gardens.

Items worth confirming for 39 Blithewood Dr, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
Built in 1986 (40 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
HOA dues are listed at $13/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Escambia - Fl County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 39 Blithewood Dr and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 39 Blithewood Dr was built in 1986 and has 3,481 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 39 Blithewood Dr in?
39 Blithewood Dr is in River Gardens in Pensacola, Escambia - Fl County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 39 Blithewood Dr have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $13 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 39 Blithewood Dr differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $7,192 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 39 Blithewood Dr in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and 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.

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. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
