Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1989, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring and a functional kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances from a mid-life renovation (approx. 15 years old). While bathrooms and some fixtures are dated, the inclusion of central HVAC and the overall clean condition meet the 'Good' criteria.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Walkable Location
Situated in the heart of Hillcrest, the property offers exceptional walkability to top-tier grocery stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, as well as the local Farmers Market and vibrant dining scene.
- Secure Parking Assets
The inclusion of two assigned gated underground parking spaces is a significant premium in a high-density neighborhood where street parking is notoriously difficult to find.
- Top-Floor Privacy & Climate Control
As a top-floor unit, the residence provides increased privacy with no neighbors above, while the central heating and air conditioning ensure year-round comfort, a feature often missing in older area condos.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Monthly HOA Dues
The association fee of $558.63 is relatively high for a condominium of this size and age, which may impact the overall monthly affordability and debt-to-income ratios for potential buyers.
- Market Stagnation
With 52 days on the market and a recent price reduction from the original list price, the property is showing signs of market fatigue, potentially indicating initial overpricing or lower buyer demand.
