Price & listing history
Building permits
Comparable recent sales
6 closed sales in East Beach 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: $2,150,000 ($708/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 in East Beach, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $2,589,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 57% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1974 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 — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
- 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:
- This home: 178 days on market vs. a 58-day community median
- 11 active listings competing, 1 under contract
- ≈11.1 months of supply
- 12 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $2,589,000 ($741/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Items worth confirming for 1626 Bruce Drive, 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 Glynn County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
