Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1988, making it 36 years old. While the listing states the primary bathroom shower has been renovated, the images reveal that the kitchen and the rest of the bathrooms (vanities, lighting, and overall style) are significantly dated, featuring original or very old cabinetry, countertops, and fluorescent box lighting. The white appliances in the kitchen are also outdated. The carpet throughout the living areas and even in the primary bathroom vanity area, while clean, contributes to an aged aesthetic. The home appears well-maintained but requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current quality standards and styles, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Substantial Association Fees
The monthly association fee of $750 is relatively high, which can significantly impact the overall cost of ownership and cash flow for investors.
- Multiple Price Reductions
The property has experienced several price reductions from its original listing, which may suggest market resistance or an initial overvaluation.
- Property Age
Built in 1988, the unit is over three decades old, potentially indicating that other systems or areas may require future maintenance or updates beyond the noted primary bathroom renovation.
