Melbourne Village is a tiny municipality whose wooded, low-density residential character is different from the larger urban and suburban markets surrounding it. Lot setting, mature vegetation, custom or older housing, and the town's scale can matter more than a simple distance search.
A Date of Death appraisal in Melbourne Village may require sales outside the town, but those sales should reproduce the same site character, housing quality, privacy, and buyer expectations rather than merely being nearby in West Melbourne or Melbourne.
A sale inside a much larger surrounding city may not capture the same low-density setting, municipal identity, mature landscape, or street character that buyers associated with Melbourne Village.
Tree cover, privacy, lot shape, drainage, usable yard, access, and improvement placement can distinguish properties with similar gross lot area.
Renovation, additions, design, effective age, garage or accessory improvements, and floor-plan utility can matter more than chronological year built.
A more distant sale can be stronger evidence when it matches the same density, site character, housing quality, and buyer profile. Search expansion should be explained rather than hidden.
Tree removal, additions, interior modernization, pools, and other site or building changes can materially alter the home observed today.
