Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value ($407k) is for municipal tax purposes. While it’s a useful benchmark, market conditions, the home’s interior condition, and buyer demand ultimately determine the sale price. It sits above the citywide average but slightly below the averages for its specific street and neighborhood.
2. How does the lot size compare to nearby properties?
The lot is a key feature. At 6,491 sqft, it is significantly larger than the River Park South neighborhood average (~5,447 sqft), meaning you’re getting more land than most homes in the area, though it’s closer to the citywide average.
3. What does the sale history tell us?
The home sold in 2016 and again in 2021, each time within a higher price percentile, indicating consistent demand and value growth in this location. Exact sold prices are available upon request from the listing provider.
4. Is the living space considered small for the area?
At 1,268 sqft, it is slightly below the averages for the street, neighborhood, and city. This suggests a efficient or compact layout, which may appeal to those seeking easier maintenance, with the trade-off being less interior space than some comparable homes.
5. Are there many homes of a similar age nearby?
Yes. Built in 1985, it is typical for Bruton Place and River Park South. This means the major components (roof, windows, systems) are likely of a similar age to neighbors', which is useful for anticipating maintenance and understanding the character of the area.
