Property is move-in ready.
The property was built in 1950, but the significant price jump from $175k in 2023 to $280k in 2026 suggests a recent renovation (within 3 years). While the exterior shows older windows and an unfinished yard, the sales history indicates a move-in ready interior with updated functional systems, placing it in the 'Good' category rather than 'Excellent' due to the age of the shell and exterior maintenance needs.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13504, living area = 1283.
The property features an expansive 13,504 sqft lot, offering significant space for outdoor living, gardening, or the potential addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Priced at $280,000 for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence, this home represents a highly accessible entry point for first-time buyers or investors in the California market.

The substantial price increase from its previous sale in late 2023 suggests a potential flip, which may lead to appraisal challenges or require a rigorous inspection to verify the quality of recent improvements.
