Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1981, this 45-year-old property falls into the dated category. The exterior shows original architectural elements and styling consistent with its age. While it appears functional and maintained, the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems likely require updates to meet modern standards and address the wear associated with a 40+ year lifecycle.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Competitive Price Point
Priced at $418,000, this property offers an accessible entry point into the Bay Area real estate market, providing excellent value for first-time homebuyers or investors.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Association Fees
The monthly HOA fee of $560 is relatively high, which increases the total monthly carrying cost and may impact the debt-to-income ratio for potential buyers.
- Lower School Ratings
The property is served by schools with lower-than-average ratings, particularly the middle school, which may be a concern for families prioritizing educational performance.
