Physical conditions that affect value and rarely appear on a listing.
Active freight track. Noise, vibration and horn use at crossings — check where the nearest crossing is before assuming quiet.
344 of 1,556 units sit empty outside seasonal use. High vacancy is an exit-risk signal rather than a price signal — the question is whether there is a buyer at any price, not what the price is. A further 205 unit(s) are vacant seasonally — second homes rather than distress — so a headline vacancy rate quoted elsewhere for this tract will read 35%.
Meaningful grade. Site work costs rise sharply and septic approval is not automatic.
Self-reported median across the whole tract — context for whether a number is plausible, not a comparable and never a bid input.
Tract median household income. Sets what a local buyer can finance.
Official appraiser / assessor — free, always available. Copy the parcel number if the link opens a search page.

Ground elevation at the parcel. Compare with the FEMA base flood elevation where one is published.
A mapped public road runs along or beside the parcel.
Owner-occupied majority, which usually means a retail resale is possible.
© OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Flood zones from FEMA, elevation from USGS, tract statistics from the US Census. Proximity is measured from the parcel’s recorded location, which for most parcels is an assessor centroid rather than a boundary — treat these as figures to verify on a site visit, not as survey distances.
