Why the map gives no selling pace
The map shows a dash for homes in New Chauncey. The map explains a dash this way: the county's plat does not line up with the MLS neighborhood name, so the homes are not counted. Without that count there is no one-in-N selling pace, and this note does not guess at one.
What a wide range means
Twenty-one sales spread across $286,000 in a neighborhood where every house is more than 70 years old. That width is mostly the houses, not the streets. A price for one house leans on the few recent sales that look most like it in size, layout and condition, and on what each of those had done before it sold.
Check the square footage before you price
In older houses, the square footage in the county record, an old listing and an appraisal often disagree, and finished space below grade is usually the difference. Comparing price per square foot only works when the square feet were counted the same way. It is worth settling that number before a price is set rather than after an appraisal settles it for you.
The note on square footage covers which rule an appraisal uses.
For the long-time owner
An older home's sale value is only part of an owner's decision. A review of the layout and maintenance needs can help establish what staying or renovating would involve before a move is chosen.
What a sale after many years of ownership would mean for your taxes belongs to your CPA. Whether any local rule limits changes to a house belongs to the City of West Lafayette. What a specific repair or renovation would cost belongs to the contractor who would do it.

This note is general. It is not an appraisal, and it is not tax or legal advice. What a specific house would bring depends on that house.
