Says A LOT.
It's not hard to find out where someone lives around here if you have some bits of data that would give you a name easily.

Of course, we are all looking because we are curious from a RE perspective and not a bunch of creepy stalkers, but nefarious types can also find this stuff quickly.

I'm an old techno-semiphobe. Took me 10 seconds after I read Mike's post.

Took me less than a second to realize how he found it, but I was busy and didn't go look until later.

Definitely. The property has to sell for value of the lot + house.

Say...
$80,000 value on the neighborhood lots.
On a 2000SF house, that is $40/SF.
On a 3000SF house, that is $26.67/SF.

Smaller house price has to increase in comparison to the larger house to carry the lot.

This would only be true in neighborhoods with more homogeneous stock, yes?

As in, a place like MacGregor where you have a 2500 sq ft rancher on a one acre lot next to a 6500 sq ft 2 story that's on a 1.5 acre lot these two just won't compare at all and the price per is irrelevant, is it not?

I mean, would it relate more to age, finish, similar homes nearby (not even in the same neighborhood necessarily) that sold recently, etc?

Like could you pull from Regency to comp for a MacGregor house that was a teardown and both were similar ages, sq ft, lot sizes, etc?

Take golf course frontage off the table.

I took it as MikeJ being kind to the OP, and not broadcasting "Well, his name is obviously ________ and I looked it up in the tax records."
