Listed at $650,000, this home is within the range of comparable homes, on the lower side. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In Gibson lately, sellers have been getting about 96% of asking and homes sell in about 31 days.
Based on 49 similar homes that recently sold nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 49 recently sold comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $724K, a close match.
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, sold for $1.10M
- Bedrooms +$22K
- Bathrooms −$11K
- Adjusts to $1.11M
That comparable adjusts to $1.11M; the $784K estimate above is the median of all 49 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual closing prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are still my in-person call.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $784K, median of 49 comparables.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
