help me get the current market value and the ARV? (second opinon)

Hello, I came across this ARV which I think is outrageously high (which is 525k), compare to what the asking price was (which is 290k), I done my diligent on the property and ran several comp and I came with ARV of 350 max (keep in mind it could possible sell for a little more) but i think she should sell somewhere around 240k -245k (keep in mind i never factor in my repair cost in yet because haven't seen the place in person) they place look like its in pretty good condition , it just needs an up to date appeal (Ill show pictures) One sec) which i think would be about 20 k judging from the picture. Now she figured 140k est in rehab can boost the arv from 290 k to 525k...How did she get this? the only house on my comp that sold close to that 525 k was a house a couple mile away and it was double in SF. If im going to try and hit that 525k value mark, im thinking i would have to gut out the whole house, and upgrade the whole entire house, that would be about 140k in rehab. How did she come up with that outrageous number?? and can you figure out a quick comp on the property of what you think it is worth as is and then the ARV?? Here picture below

subject house

it looks like you have answered your own question as far as value of the house 

@David Daniels 

if similar properties in that area are only selling for 345k then that is what they are worth

you cannot go with comps 2 miles away

    Ok thank you mark

    Sometimes I over analyze things just to confirm what im doing is correct. Im still dumbfounded how she got 525k ARV in a area where house are selling between 300-350k in better condition but similar to the subject house. Why she think the house needs 140k? when I see a minimum of 20 k fix from the pictures.

    Im starting to think this is prime example for beginners.  Do your homework on a property before jumping in on a deal ,the 290k -525k gap sounds too good. but realistically maybe the most you can sell that house may be 50-60k (350k-400k) above market value with a really intricate high appeal gut out job. (which I don't highly recommend as a first job for myself)

    On another note im going to call her on how she got her ARV for more of learning for me and maybe try strike a deal

    I just looked up recently solds in the same subdivision from 01/01/2013. The highest sold was $362,000 (1397sq ft) in 11/14.  It's worth around 300k-350k depending on your upgrades.  I can send you the comps.  Just PM me your email address.

    Everything you said right up until this last sentence seemed well reasoned and thoughtfully presented.  But after all that, you STILL think there is the possibility of an investor's dream bargain here?  I for one cannot see it!  Cheers...

     I got it and emailed you the comps.  Let me know how it goes.  Apparently, it's a hot subdivision so good luck.

    Oh Im not planning on making a move yet lol but your comp were similar to mine, which is a good thing. The only thing I ignore was the 2013 comparison for the property (thought it was a little bit  too far back). but i didnt ignore completely i paid attention at what thing were being sold a couple year ago If not mistaken seem like the market in that subdivision rose a little bit.

     I had to go 2013 because when I ran it for 2014, there weren't many properties sold that year.  Going back to 2013 at least gave you a few more properties to analyze.
