Merced, California 95340
This Value-Add Residential Asset is listed at a $349,900 List Price, positioned above the $301,279 Fair Market Value. While the price aligns with recent local sales of similar 3-bedroom homes, the Functional Condition Rating suggests a need for modernization of the 1971 finishes. The property’s value is anchored by a 7,881 sq ft lot, spacious patio, and proximity to UC Merced and the Merced Union High School District. This is a prudent acquisition for Value-Add Investors or Owner-Occupants seeking a stable asset with forced appreciation potential.
