* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1961, this property is an aged but functional home that fits the 'fair' criteria. While it features significant system upgrades such as central HVAC and leased solar panels, the listing description's mention of an 'opportunity to personalize' and the lack of interior renovation highlights suggest that the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring are likely outdated. The exterior shows signs of age-related wear, and the short sale status typically indicates a property where cosmetic maintenance may have been deferred.
The property is equipped with essential central heating and air conditioning along with leased solar panels, offering immediate energy efficiency and climate control in the warm El Cajon climate.
Situated in an established neighborhood, the home provides excellent proximity to highly-rated schools like Valhalla High and convenient access to local shopping, dining, and major freeways.
This 3-bedroom, single-story residence features a practical floor plan and a two-car garage, making it highly accessible and desirable for families or those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle.
The property is a short sale subject to lender approval, which typically involves a more complex negotiation process and a significantly longer closing timeline for the buyer.
Built in 1961 and marketed as an opportunity to personalize, the home likely requires additional investment in cosmetic updates or structural modernizations to meet contemporary standards.
