Listed at $1,899/mo, this rental is right in line with comparable rentals. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Lawfield, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 6 similar rentals nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 6 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.
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, listed at $2,399/mo
- Bedrooms −$150/mo
- Adjusts to $2,249/mo
That comparable adjusts to $2,249/mo; the $1,850/mo estimate above is the median of all 6 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not leased-deal prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are my in-person call.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1,850/mo, median of 6 comparables.
