$395,000
This house sold for $395,000 cash on Dec 5, 2025. Buyers passed on $425,000 and $419,000 first.
Sale price: $395,000
Living area: 2,383 sq ft
$395,000 / 2,383 = $165.76 per sq ft
$412,452
74 Deal Rd sold for $485,000, then $515,000 14 months later. That monthly rate, applied over 10 months, gives the adjusted value. Dothan's citywide 8.6% yearly change was not used because it mixes all home types.
Total change: $515,000 / $485,000 - 1 = 6.19%
Monthly rate: 6.19% / 14 = 0.442%
Adjusted: $395,000 x (1 + 0.442% x 10) = $412,452
$433,192 and $442,410
The two pool-home sales, applied to this home's size. Credits: 5 acres, 2017 build, shop, covered patio. Debits: carport instead of garage, 3 bedrooms, siding instead of brick, unconfirmed bath count.
364 Sheppard Rd, Taylor: $403,925 / 2,222 sq ft = $181.78; x 2,383 = $433,192
74 Deal Rd, Newton: $515,000 / 2,774 sq ft = $185.65; x 2,383 = $442,410
$430,000 to $450,000
Bracketed by the two pool-home sales applied to this home's size. Credit for 5 acres, a 2017 build, the shop, and the covered patio; debit for a carport instead of a garage, 3 bedrooms, siding instead of brick, and an unconfirmed bath count. Purchase price plus claimed spending, $495,000, is above every sale and is not supported.
Supported 2026 work: $430,000 - $412,000 = $18,000, to $450,000 - $412,000 = $38,000
Purchase plus claim: $395,000 + $100,000 = $495,000

Contractors can file liens up to 6 months after their last work, subcontractors and suppliers 4 months.
Upload invoices, permits, lien waivers, or inspection reports from the sellers. Lovable AI reads them and says which of the claimed improvements they back up. Photos or PDFs, up to 5 files, 8 MB each.
Files are sent to the AI service only to make this summary and are not kept by this page. The summary can miss things, so read the documents yourself and have your attorney or appraiser confirm.
