Appraisal with no good comps

[Maxine Kunimura]

I’m having an appraisal on my primary residence. I’ve heard on a podcast it can be helpful to find comps yourself to give to the appraiser. Problem is, my home doesn’t have very many comparable comps. It’s not in a traditional neighborhood - it’s off a county road, near the new MN Vikings training camp and this area is getting pretty hot. The lot is 1.5 acres and one of the smaller lots on the road.

Any advice on the next best thing (as far as comps go)? The homes on this road vary greatly. Even the appraiser seemed to acknowledge that this is more tricky when I spoke with him today.
