We looked for closed sales within about 12 miles, on 1 to 10 acres, roughly 1,800 to 3,000 square feet, built 1995 or later, and sold within 24 months of October 9, 2026. Six closed sales, C1 to C6, met the rule. Sales that did not are still listed on the Comparables page with the reason they were left out.

Grade A would mean the sale price is confirmed by the deed tax in the probate record. No sale has that yet, because that search needs a probate login (open item OI-19).

Grade B means the price and date come from public records and listing portals, but the deed tax has not been checked. Five of the six sales are grade B.

Grade C means a weaker match. C5 is the only grade C sale. All grade C sales together may carry no more than 10% of the weight.

The master prompt states only the deed-tax rule for A and B and the 10% cap for C; the rest of this wording is a draft for owner review.

Each sale is adjusted to look like this home. If a sale has something this home lacks, its price is lowered; if it lacks something this home has, its price is raised. The rates: time +0.14% per month, living area $60 per square foot, age $1,000 per year, land from county land values, half bath $5,000, pool $20,000, shop $10,000, and garage $8,000. Loading

The Value page shows every adjustment for every sale, and the sliders let you change the rates and see the result move.

Each adjusted price gets a share of the final answer. Closer, more similar sales get more. The weights are 30%, 20%, 20%, 15%, 5%, and 10% for C1 to C6. Multiplying and adding gives the most probable value of LoadingLoading.

Net adjustment is the total of the ups and downs. Gross is the total size of all of them, ignoring direction. Large totals mean a sale needed a lot of changing to compare, so it is a weaker guide.

A red "Gross over 25%" tag appears when gross adjustments are more than 25% of the sale price, and a red "Net over 15%" tag when net is more than 15%. C6 carries the gross flag at 30.7%.

This asks: what if none of the 2026 work counts yet? It uses no time adjustment, values the pool at $10,000 and the shop at $0, and uses the county's bath count. That gives LoadingLoading. The home's own December 2025 sale, adjusted for time, is LoadingLoading.

A comparative market analysis (CMA) compares recent sales to estimate a likely price range. Anyone can prepare one, and this one was not prepared by an Alabama licensee.

An Alabama certified appraiser is licensed by the state, inspects the property, follows national standards, and is what a lender relies on. This site is not an appraisal. If an Alabama certified appraiser's value differs, theirs governs.
