Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1968, this home is well-maintained but largely dated. While one bathroom has been recently renovated with modern tile and a glass shower, the kitchen retains older painted cabinets and dated tile flooring. The presence of worn carpeting and 1970s-style wood ceiling trim suggests the property needs minor cosmetic updates to reach a 'Good' rating.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Family Location
Situated in a highly desirable Santa Cruz neighborhood within walking distance to De Laveaga Elementary School and minutes from Highway 1, offering exceptional convenience for families and commuters.
- Functional Single-Level Layout

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Market Stagnation
With 36 days on the market and a recent $50,000 price reduction, the property has struggled to capture immediate buyer interest at its initial valuation.
