    • Cost/SqFt: ⬆️ (Sold for $16 more per sqft)

    • Condition: ⚖️ (Similar dated features)

    This property on Ray-Beck Road offers a similar rural lifestyle with 4 acres of privacy, much like the 5 acres found at 240 Clarence Alston Road. While this sold listing is smaller and has a higher cost per square foot, it is a stick-built ranch, which typically holds value better than a manufactured home. Both properties share a need for some cosmetic updates, making this a fair comparison of land-heavy rural retreats.

    🟡 The home for sale offers more square footage and slightly more land, making it a reasonable trade-off compared to this smaller stick-built option.

  • A modern kitchen with white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a ceiling fan, green walls, wood-look flooring, and a window above the sink. A painting of a cow hangs on the wall above the counter.

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ (Sold for $8 less per sqft)

    • Condition: ⬆️ (Fully renovated in 2023)

    Comparing the home for sale to this sold listing highlights a significant difference in value and quality. While 240 Clarence Alston Road offers more acreage, this property was a fully renovated stick-built home that sold for a lower total price and a lower cost per square foot. The interior of this home features modern finishes, refinished hardwoods, and updated systems, whereas the home for sale is a manufactured home being sold in as-is condition.

    🔴 Given that a completely updated traditional home sold for less than the current asking price of the home for sale, 240 Clarence Alston Road appears to be priced high for its asset class.

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ (Sold for $17 less per sqft)

    • Condition: ⬆️ (Updated with granite and LVP)

    This sold listing represents a strong comparison for a buyer looking for functional space and investment potential. The home on Noble Road is a stick-built brick ranch with modern interior updates like granite countertops that sold significantly cheaper than the home for sale. Even though 240 Clarence Alston Road has more land, the price gap is hard to justify when you consider the difference between a manufactured home and a renovated brick home.

    🔴 The home for sale is positioned at a premium price point compared to this updated stick-built property.
