11809 E Main Ave
List at $819K–$829K, at the top of what the data supports
Four methods put your home's value between the low $700s and mid $800s. The strongest one, the closest sale in seven years adjusted to your home, lands near $808K. A list price of $819K–$829K sits at the top of that support and below the $850K sale that sets the ceiling.
Two full-size units, a shop and room to park
Covered back porches on both units. One unit rents for $2,350 a month, month to month, and the other is owner-occupied, so both can be delivered vacant. We estimate market rent at $2,500–$2,650 per unit.
The closest sale points to about $808K for your home
13521 E 20th Ave is the only Valley duplex near your size and setup to sell since 2019. It closed at $850,000 in July 2023 with one side vacant and one rented month to month.

Recent duplex sales cap out in the mid $700s
Every comparable Valley duplex sale in 2025–2026 closed at $775K or less, and 2026 sales so far top out at $720K. Those homes are about 3,000 sq ft. Same-era homes sell for $170–$175 per sq ft; applied to your 4,316 above-grade sq ft plus the shop and basement, that's about $744K–$785K.

Investors would pay $714K–$795K, so we'll market to owner-occupants
Investors pay for rent, not square footage, and your home earns about what smaller duplexes earn. The buyer who pays more lives in one unit and rents the other: they're paying for the space, the shop and the garages, and the rent helps cover the payment. A lender can show them how the rental income is counted.
Your 2019 purchase has grown to about $778K–$816K
| $500K (Oct 2019) grown by | Change | Today |
|---|---|---|
| Spokane metro price index (FHFA) | +63% | $816K |
| County site-built median | +60% | $802K |
| Valley median price per sq ft | +59% | $793K |
| Valley median price | +56% | $778K |
| Valley duplex repeat sales (middle) | +51% | $754K |
Valley prices peaked in Q2 2025 and are about 5% lower as of Q3 2026. Almost all of the gain since 2019 came before mid-2024.
On 20th's path, your assessment would be about $866K
In 2023 the two homes were assessed within 3% of each other. 20th then sold for $850,000, and within four years its assessment came down to $843,000. Yours has dropped only 2% since 2023.
| 2023 → 2027 | 13521 E 20th | Yours |
|---|---|---|
| Land | +50% | +68% |
| Structure | −18.1% | −7.2% |
| Total | −12.4% | −2.0% |
| Yours on 20th's path | ≈ $866K–$869K |
Land values rose on both; the gap is in the buildings. The County Assessor sets its own values and places these homes in different neighborhoods, so this shows a pattern, not a prediction of your assessments or taxes. Questions about your assessment go to the Spokane County Assessor.
Pricing above the comps puts the appraisal at risk
Most buyers at this price will finance, and their lender's appraiser can only go as high as closed sales support. A contract above that number usually means renegotiating.
Why this is a concern
The appraiser needs recent sales that bracket the price. The only comparable sales above $819K are from 2023 and early 2024, and both are newer homes. Closing the gap takes large size and shop adjustments, which lender reviewers often question. The income approach, which this appraisal form includes, comes in at $714K–$795K.
If the value comes in low, the buyer may ask for a lower price, cover the difference in cash or, depending on the contract, cancel. A cancelled sale puts you back on the market with a history.
How we'll make the case
Your home is larger above grade than every recent sale and has an 816 sq ft shop none of them have. We'll give the appraiser the comparable sales with our adjustments, shop and garage measurements, the lot, above-grade square footage and a market rent summary.
Please gather the lease terms, any shop permits and a list of upgrades since 2019. We'll weigh each offer's appraisal terms and financing, not just its price.
Launch plan
-
List at $819K–$829K. That's below the one sale that matches your size and setup, so buyers can see the value, and it gives the appraiser a clear comparable.
-
Market to owner-occupant buyers. Lead with the size of each unit, the 816 sq ft shop, the two garages and the option to live in one side and rent the other.
-
Prepare the appraisal package before the first offer arrives.
-
Set a review date 2–3 weeks after launch. We'll look at showings and feedback together and decide whether to hold or adjust before the listing goes stale.
