Comparative Market Analysis
Recent Frankton sales have generally ranged from $190,000 to $267,000, with conventional homes typically selling between $100 and $155 per square foot. True log homes are rare locally, so we analyzed recent sales of similar size and adjusted for the subject’s acreage and character.
Address | Sold Price | Date | Beds/Baths | Sq Ft | $/Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
712 E Maple St | $267,000 | Jun 2026 | 3 / 2 | 1,728 | ~$155 |
901 Grant St | $190,000 | May 2026 | 3 / 2 | 1,308 | ~$145 |
206 N John St | $203,000 | Dec 2025 | 3 / 2 | ~1,472 | ~$138 |
903 Walnut St | $137,000 | Mar 2026 | 2 / 1 | 907 | ~$151 |
306 W Clyde St | $118,500 | Dec 2025 | 3 / 2 | 1,406 | ~$84 |
Land context: Approximately 5 acres sold for $170,000 and ~8 acres sold for $160,000 in 2025. Wooded acreage of 2–2.5 acres typically adds meaningful value beyond a standard town lot.
Opinion of Value
$200,000 – $215,000
Most Likely Sale Price Range
Broader suggested range: $195,000 – $220,000
Current list price of $229,900 sits at the high end of the range.
Key Adjustment Factors
- Positive: Log construction & character (rare locally); 2.46 wooded acres + dead-end privacy
- Negative: Smaller living area and only 2 bedrooms; no central heat or air conditioning
- Neutral to Mild Positive: Private well/septic; detached garage and flexible extra room
This is primarily a lifestyle property. The final price will be driven more by how much a buyer values the private wooded setting and log character than by pure square-footage comparisons.
Buyer Considerations
Strengths
- Private 2.46-acre wooded setting
- Distinctive log home character
- No HOA
- Frankton-Lapel schools
Items to Verify
- No central air (upgrade potential)
- Well water testing & septic inspection
- Roof and log structure inspection
- Electrical service size
Bottom Line
7260 N 750 W offers a distinctive private country setting with genuine log-home appeal and meaningful acreage. While the $229,900 list price is ambitious relative to recent conventional sales, the data most strongly supports a value in the $200,000 – $215,000 range for the right buyer.
As always, this overview is based on publicly available information and the seller’s disclosure. It is not a substitute for professional inspections, title work, or your own due diligence.
