How it compares with homes like it
The peer rule here: same type (single-family homes), within one bedroom, size within 25% of 1,695 square feet, sold in the last 12 months, within 0.5 miles. That radius produced 18 sales, enough to draw a reliable read.
The 18-sale peer median is $2,045,000 at $1,334 per square foot. The subject's asking price of $2,250,000 places it above the peer median by about $205,000. Its ask of $1,327 per square foot is essentially at the peer median per-square-foot — a rounding difference of $7.
The closest and most directly comparable peer sale is 640 Craig Ave, 0.24 miles away. It is a 4-bedroom, 2-bath home at 1,676 square feet — within 1% of the subject's size — and it recorded at $1,935,000 ($1,155 per square foot) in June 2026. The subject is asking $315,000 more than that sale and carries a meaningfully higher per-square-foot figure.
Among the 22 active single-family listings in the same peer band, the subject ranks 19th by price. The peer listing median ask is $1,872,944. At $2,250,000, 1036 Smith Ave is in the upper tier of what is currently on the market.
