Price & listing history
Building permits
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: $687,500 ($260/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
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.
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: $439,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 23% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1975 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot — this listing is waterfront; water frontage is priced far off a per-sq-ft average of the neighborhood.
- 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 $33/mo; with insurance and any seller-paid buydown, that changes what a buyer actually pays, and a sq ft estimate ignores all of it.
- The pool — a private pool carries cost and value that living area doesn't capture.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- 2 active listings competing
- ≈12.0 months of supply
- 1 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $439,000 ($159/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Items worth confirming for 1214 Shell Point Road, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

- 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 McIntosh County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
- Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
- Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
- Listed living area is 2,769 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.

- Review permit history with the county.
