$50 per sq ft of difference from 2,187 sq ft
$7,500 per full bath, $4,000 per half bath, $5,000 for a 4th bedroom
$4,000 per acre for the first 5 acres of difference, $2,000 per acre beyond that
+$10,000, a modest amount because Maine's short swim season limits pool premiums. None of the comps has a pool.
+$15,000 if the comp has no garage; −$5,000 for a larger 3-car garage
−$15,000 for a much newer or fully remodeled home; +$5,000 to +$10,000 for a much older home
Point estimate about $410,000. Most weight goes to the four closest matches.
Shaded band = market value range ($395,000 – $425,000); dark line = $410,000 point value.
Three lower sales (2914 Route 2, 2485 Broadway and 102 Church Rd) adjust to about $365,000 to $373,000 and hold the bottom of the range down. 60 Evergreen Dr sold at full price in 7 days and adjusts to about $525,000, so it is treated as an outlier.

| Several others | Bangor area | Active | $435,000 – $530,000 | Mostly ranches and colonials |
Buyers are committing at about $399,000 to $412,000 right now, including a Glenburn Cape on 6 acres. Most homes asking $435,000 and up are larger ranches and colonials. That supports pricing your home in the mid-$420s and not higher.
Have the assessing record updated to 2 full baths. Gather receipts for the bath remodels and flooring, plus service records for the heating system, pool, well and septic.
The pool, the patio and 4.7 private acres set this home apart from every recent comparable sale, so show them in full summer condition.
This keeps the home under the $425,000 search break and just above the current wave of $399,000–$412,000 contracts.
Recent sales that started too high sat 105–160 days and still sold below list. If showings are light after about 21 days, adjust to about $414,900.
A sale netting $405,000 to $420,000. Most recent buyers asked for $5,000 to $10,000 in closing-cost help, so plan for that in negotiations.
Comparable sales and competing listings come from local MLS sold data and public records, including City of Bangor assessing data.
A quick walk-through lets me firm up the condition assumption and fine-tune this range. Pick a time that works for you.
