Finished new construction nearby has sold between 1,900,000 dollars and 3,500,000 dollars (Redfin, 2025), so the lot under an ordinary looking ranch often carries more value than the rooms above it suggest at first glance.The parcel record fixes lot size, build year, and permit history for the address (Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser, 2026), while the county deed record shows who holds title and which entities have actually closed purchases on streets like these (Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts, 2026).For the file in report 166, the practical reading of that point on a quiet interior street near the school pockets is to price a pre-1981 ranch from recorded sales rather than from hope.
