“The $625,000 was for the Former Model with tons of upgrades, a prime location and a much larger than average yard.”
So if you never seen the two properties why would you say with SUCH CONFIDENCE that this was a former model home??? Especially when the selling price of the two homes back in late 2003/early 2004 only had a $18,000 spread. In fact, your assumption about the yard size being much larger is completely wrong! They are the same exact size.
My arguments are certainly not without flaws. afterall, what if the house that sold for $625,000 had marble flooring thru out and included build-in Viking appliances and frig with toilet made of gold? Sure, that would account for it selling for that much more. Is it likely? No. But unfortunately your counter-arguments are even more flawed, especially when you just assume it was a model home with a bigger yard, neither assumptions are true.
And certainly that comment about the lack of privacy with the folks at the community park having direct visual into your yard being “better,” well, let’s just leave it at that.
And what about the other comp with a bigger lot, better location, and a bigger sqft being offered for lower than $625,000?
