Every row here cleared the eligibility rule: a listing that was live when checked, a lease the MLS records as closed, or a rent roll dated 2024 or later. The Eligibility column names which one - 5 rows rest on listings that were live when checked, 1 on a lease the MLS records as closed and 0 on a published rent roll. A closed lease counts only where the MLS records the space and the closing date behind it; a row whose only evidence is an open sold or leased line stays out of the table and is listed in the appendix with its reason. Rent basis under each row says whether the figure is an asking rate or a published rent roll. Your own bakery bay is in the table as a reality check and is not counted in the footer. The smallest bay in the pool is 900 SF, so no true 500 SF bay exists as a comp: the salon read rests on the 1725A S 12th St (1,000 SF, $11.70), the closest real evidence.

GRM (annual) = sale price / gross annual scheduled rent (12 x monthly). Monthly GRM = price / monthly gross rent. Both labeled on every row. Basis under every row says whether the rent is documented, partly imputed, or an estimate. Small multifamily rows carry the asset-type label instead of any averaging rule: Jay and Mark decide how much each row counts. Days on market is the same MLS-published figure shown in the price table.

The three mixed-use trades with documented rents print 7.74 to 9.72 times annual rent. Your building bought at 9.37 on today's below-market rents and 7.25 at market rents. The small multifamily rows print 6.32 to 13.53 - a different asset type, not a true mixed-use comp, and never a blind comparable.

The How long a listing took to sell or lease.It runs from the original list date to the closing, as the MLS publishes it.A listing still for sale counts from its list date to the day you open this page. column is each property's own time on the market: the days the listing published for a closed trade, or the original list date to the day you open this page for a property still for sale, each figure linked to the source behind it.

Published caps run 6.50% to 17.15% across these 12 properties. The 5 closed mixed-use trades within 0.84 mi of your building print 7.15%, 7.18%, 8.73%, 10.21%, 13.78%, median 8.73% - that is the market's own pricing for this asset class.

The books

Income and expenses

Two readings of the same building: the Actual column is the manager's books for the eight months to Aug 31, 2026, restated to a full year, and the What the building earns and costs at market rents, with normal running costs.Why it is here: the upside case - what you get when every unit performs at market. column is what the building earns at the rents this study sets. Every Pro Forma line that moves carries its reason on the line itself.

Leasing commissions and mortgage interest sit below the NOI line and are not in this table (as booked: 6375 - $581.72 and 6510 - $11,524.01 for the eight months).

Valuation

What it is worth with today's leases, and what it is worth at market rents

The As-Is column is what the building is worth with the leases that are on it today, which an appraiser calls the leased fee. The At-Market column is what it is worth if every unit rented at market, the fee simple. Both columns start from the same seven sales for the price per SF and the price per unit. The capitalization row divides each column's own net income by its own cap rate: 6.50% on today's leases and 7.25% at market rents. The rent multiple row multiplies each column's own rent by its own multiple: 8.0 times rent on today's leases and 7.5 times rent at market. All three apartments and two of the three shops are leased below the market this study's own surveys show, so the as-is column is worth less by exactly what that rent gap is worth.

The $26,496 a year the building is not collecting is the whole distance between the two value columns above.Both reconciled values are the midpoint of their own two figures, rounded to the nearest $25,000.$200,000 more at market rents

Every price per SF in this table is on the building's 7,868 SF of gross building area, the same basis the sales table uses (7,011 SF is rentable, $121.24 per SF). The What it would cost to build this building again today, less its age and wear.Left out here: an 1880 building, and depreciation makes it weak support for a value. is left out of this table.

How the three approaches are run

  1. Sales comparison.

    The two comparison rows are the same in both columns, and that is the point. A sale is price evidence, and a buyer pays for the rent the building can earn, not only for the rent it collects today. The leases that are on the building bind the income, so an as-is buyer pays less for the same building: that discount is the rent gap, and the last row of the table puts a number on it (the seven sales behind the comparison rows).

  2. Direct capitalization.

    Net income divided by the cap rate each column carries: 6.50% on today's leases and 7.25% at market rents. The closed mixed-use trades in the cap table print 7.15% to 8.73% for a well-kept, fully-occupied building. The smallest and most commercial-heavy of them prints 13.78%, shown in that chapter as what weaker stock trades at, and it is not part of that published range (the published caps behind the capitalization row).

  3. Gross rent multiple.

    The rent multiplied by the multiple each column carries: 8.0 times rent on today's leases and 7.5 times rent at market. The published multiples on the mixed-use trades with documented rents run 7.74 to 9.72 times rent. The small multifamily rows in that chapter print 6.32 to 13.53 times rent: a different asset type, labeled that way in the table, and not used here (the published multiples behind the rent multiple row).

  4. Reconciled value.

    Judgment, not an average. Each column's reconciled value is the midpoint of its capitalization figure and its multiple figure, rounded to the nearest $25,000: the midpoint of $638,378 and $725,760 on today's leases, and the midpoint of $855,410 and $879,120 at market rents (the reconciliation).

Where this pricing lands

At market rents the capitalization figure is $855,410 and the rent-multiple figure is $879,120. The midpoint of that band is $867,265, rounded to $875,000 as the reconciled value. This is realistic, market-clearing pricing meant to allow a 1031 trade where the replacement property is identified and the closing is ready. It is not a record-setting or aspirational valuation. List higher for negotiation room, but this is where to expect to land to sell within a reasonable timeframe (the reconciliation).

Where you stand

Where you stand at these numbers

You paid $850,000 on Jan 26, 2026 ($141,667 per unit, $108.03 per SF) (County deed #11572508). On today's rent that is GRM 9.37; on market rent, GRM 7.25 (the rent roll and the county deed record). The same three approaches, run on both sets of rents, put the building at $675,000 on today's leases and $875,000 at market rents (the valuation matrix). The price sits between the two, and the $200,000 between them is the rent the building has not collected yet: the work that pays is the rent roll, not the exit.

Value on today's leases

$675,000

What the building is worth with the leases that are on it, the leased fee (the valuation matrix).

Value at market rents

$875,000

The same three approaches on the Pro Forma rents, against the $850,000 you paid (County deed #11572508).

Rent gap, what it is worth

$200,000

The $26,496 a year of uncollected rent, priced into the distance between the two columns (the valuation matrix).

The upside is the rent roll

At market rents the building grosses $117,216 a year (the Pro Forma rent calculation). In place it grosses $90,720 (apartments $50,940, shops $39,780) (the Aug 2026 rent roll). The gap is $26,496 a year: $24,624 on the apartments, where all three sit below the benchmark, and $1,872 on the shops, where the salon already rents above it and the bakery and the acupuncture bay sit just below (the rent roll and the Pro Forma calculation). Closing the gap is worth $200,000 of value, the distance between the two reconciled columns of the valuation matrix (the valuation matrix).

The timing is in the leases: the bakery lease runs to Nov 30, 2026, the apartments turn over one at a time from May 31, 2027 to Jul 31, 2027, the salon runs to Sep 30, 2027, and the acupuncture lease runs to Aug 31, 2028. The bakery re-lease and each apartment renewal are the chance to price to market without turning a tenant over.

The building's condition is settled and strong: tall ceilings, rooftop decks on the two upper apartments, in-unit washer and dryer plus dishwasher in every apartment, and parking for about four cars off the alley. The gap is between what the units earn and what the evidence says they can earn.

Appendix

Context kept out of the tables

Three groups of records are not market comps for your building. Each one is here with its reason.

Transfers that were not market sales (6)

These changed hands on paper, not on the market. None is a priced trade:

  • 2556 N Booth St: The Dec 2024 transfer was a retitle to the owner's own company (county deed #11476285, quit claim, nothing recorded against the title). No market sale occurred; the $168,500 figure on the property record is an estimated value, not a price.
  • 2671-2679 N Holton St: The Apr 4, 2024 transfer was a gift (county deed #11410495, quit claim). The $162,500 figure on the property record is an estimated value, not a price.
  • 833 E Burleigh St: The Oct 23, 2024 transfer moved the building into the owner's own revocable trust (county deed #11459569). The $118,500 figure is an estimated value, not a price.
  • 831-833 W Burleigh St: The Jun 5, 2024 transfer was a family-gift land contract (county deed #11425227) with $0 recorded. The $70,400 figure exists only on the property record's sale line.
  • 400 E Burleigh St: Recorded Jan 14, 2025, but the deed conveys Mar 1, 2019 (county deed #11480607), before the 2024 window of this study.
  • 3271-3273 N Holton St: Recorded Jan 22, 2025, but the deed conveys Jul 1, 2019 (county deed #11480609), before the 2024 window of this study.
Residential alternates (5)

Just below the seven comps above; useful as brackets, not as anchors:

  • 2611 N Humboldt Blvd (3BR/1BA, 1,400 SF, $1,550/mo) (Trulia). Exact size match to your Apt 1/3 (1,400 SF) with a full 2026 lease cycle: listed May 2026 at $1,550 and removed Jun 10, 2026. Loses on the 3BR layout and the 1-bath cluster.
  • 2518 N Humboldt Blvd (2BR pair, 1,246 SF, $1,275/mo for the lower) (Zumper). Amenity floor bracket: on-site laundry only, no washer and dryer in the unit. The $1,275 lower is the only unit priced now (the $1,550 upper is no longer listed).
  • 2556 N Booth St upper duplex (2BR, 950 SF, $1,400/mo). Same street with porches, but marketed with deferred maintenance and no off-street parking: the quality-floor bracket. The $1,400 rent is the appraiser's Jan 2026 observation (Appraisal for 2600-2604 N Booth St (Steven Lingeman, MAI), effective Jan 12, 2026, pp. 60-61).
  • 3015-3015B N Pierce St (3BR pair, 888 and 1,650 SF, $1,395-$1,495/mo) (Zillow). Balcony and washer and dryer hookups (not in the unit); 3BR cross-type. Shows the size discount at 1,650 SF ($0.91/SF/mo).
  • 3314 N Buffum $845 / 3228 N Achilles $945 / 2846 N Holton $950 (2BR/1BA) (Zillow). A lower product tier that would drag the market read below your units' quality: the low anchor of the range.
Retail candidates that did not qualify (8)

Neighborhood retail records that did not clear the eligibility rule, each with its reason:

  • 512-514 E Center St. Out of the eligible set: the only listings for it are sale listings dated Jan 1, 2019 and Oct 28, 2018, both delisted, with no rent roll dated 2024 or later and no lease term published.
  • 3041 N Oakland Ave. Out of the eligible set: signed Jul 19, 2023, before the 2024 cutoff, MLS status sold, and its 36-month minimum term ran out Jul 19, 2026 with no renewal evidence.
  • 2634 N Dr Martin Luther King Jr Dr. Out of the eligible set: the only evidence for the $900 figure is the MLS line 'Sold for $900 on Apr 1, 2025', a sold or leased status rather than a signing. No rent roll, lease document or press item exists for the space, no active listing is published for it, and no lease term is published anywhere in the sources.
  • 2701 N Dr Martin Luther King Jr Dr. Out of the eligible set: the only evidence is the MLS line 'Sold for $1,500 on Mar 27, 2025', a sold or leased status rather than a signing. The $2,800 beside it is the original asking price on that same listing; no rent roll, no lease document, no active listing, no lease term.
  • 501 W North Ave, Suite 503. Out of the eligible set: the only evidence is the MLS line 'Sold for $2,500 on Sep 16, 2026', a sold or leased status rather than a signing. Broker pages still display that same ask from the closed listing; no separate active listing, no rent roll, no lease document, no lease term.
  • 1947 N Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Out of the eligible set: the only evidence is the MLS line 'Sold for $2,800 on Feb 3, 2026', a sold or leased status rather than a signing, and the $3,000 beside it is the asking price on that same listing. The only other listing at this address is a for-sale listing, not a lease.
  • 4010 N Oakland Ave. Out of the eligible set: the only evidence is the MLS line 'Sold for $2,700 on Dec 12, 2024', a sold or leased status rather than a signing; the broker pages for it read closed. No active listing, no rent roll, no lease document, no lease term.
  • 5312 W Vliet St. Out of the eligible set: the only evidence is the MLS line 'Sold for $1,600 on Jul 1, 2025', a sold or leased status rather than a signing; the broker pages for it read closed. No active listing, no rent roll, no lease document, no lease term.
