✅ ARV Conclusion

  • Low-end ARV: ~$1,600,000 (using smaller updated Tupelo Ct and Tala Loop comps)
  • Likely ARV: ~$1,800,000–$1,900,000 (in line with Oakbrook Dr and Timpana Pt adjusted for your lower sq ft)
  • High-end ARV: ~$2,000,000+ (if fully modernized to the standard of the highest recent sales)

At an asking price of $1,439,000, this represents a solid luxury flip or light value-add opportunity with upside potential of $350K-$500K gross margin, depending on the level of upgrades and final finish quality.
