How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, leased for $2,099/mo

That comparable adjusts to $2,099/mo; the $2,152/mo estimate above is the median of all 49 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual lease prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are still my in-person call.
