The Fizbit

Fizbo Market Record — March 27, 2026 Compared against 18 active listings in Brazil, approximately 11,368 across Indiana, and 182,000 total listings analyzed nationwide, this fully renovated 1953 bungalow at 814 Pell Drive is priced just below the Brazil market median with a 2022 gut renovation that effectively eliminates the age disadvantage. At $149,900, this home prices at the 28th percentile among Brazil listings — below the city median of $162,450 by $12,550. The price-per-square-foot percentile of 83 is the key challenge: 83% of Brazil listings cost less per square foot. At 720 square feet (6th city percentile), this is one of the smallest homes in Brazil's active inventory, and the $149,900 price tag implies $208 per square foot — well above the city average of $144. That premium exists because the seller is pricing the comprehensive 2022 renovation, not the underlying structure. The listing notes a complete 2022 renovation including roof to sheeting, gutters, vinyl siding, front porch, thermal double-pane windows, 90% efficiency gas furnace and central AC, new hot water heater, water and sewer lines, 200-amp electrical, PEX plumbing, insulation, drywall, LVP flooring throughout, full kitchen cabinet and countertop replacement, stainless steel farm sink, stainless steel appliances, bathroom shower, vanity and toilet replacement, and included washer and dryer (1.5 years old). The listing quantifies utility costs: electric averaging $80 per month, gas averaging $50 per month, water and sewer averaging $70 per month — a total of $200 per month in average operating costs that buyers can verify and use in their purchase analysis. The vaulted ceilings with recessed lighting in both the living room and kitchen add perceived volume to a compact footprint. The fully-fenced backyard with pea gravel patio and the stained cedar porch beams are finish-level details that communicate craftsmanship. Buyers objecting to the square footage should be directed to the operating cost picture and the renovation scope — this home will not require capital expenditure for 10-plus years on any system. The lot at the 0th city percentile (0.12 acres, 5,227 square feet) is the smallest in the Brazil active pool, which limits outdoor utility. At 9 days on market against a city average of 35 in a warm market, this listing is tracking ahead of pace — the renovation story is resonating with buyers in this market tier.
