Facts and context beyond the MLS description
The sections below combine this listing's current facts with locally retained inventory, sale, and location data. They are generated from the same MLS replica that powers the page, without an external data request during your visit.
Current market context
How this property compares in Franklin
This property is offered at $1,236 per square foot, compared with a $359 median for active 3-bedroom homes in Franklin. Its asking price falls near the 90th percentile of that active group. The comparison uses 318 active or publicly marketable listings from the same local MLS source, filtered to the same bedroom group rather than mixing every home size together.
The property has been tracked for 78 days, while the current cohort averages 55 days on market. These figures are a point-in-time inventory comparison, not an appraisal or prediction; condition, lot, updates, exact location, and concessions can move an individual sale away from the city-level pattern.

The local sold-history cache contains 4 closed sales within approximately 1.25 miles during the last six months. The median recorded sold price in this nearby sample is $2,150,000, and the median is $1,148 per square foot where square footage was reported.
Nearby sales are useful context, but they are not automatically comparable: renovation level, acreage, water access, construction quality, financing, and seller concessions can materially change a result. A property-specific valuation should review the most similar homes and the full MLS record before drawing a conclusion.
