Cons

Overpriced Relative to Market Value: The current list price of $3.49 million is 6% higher than the estimated property value of $3.26 million, and significantly reduced from its original list price of $3.888 million, suggesting it may still be overvalued compared to market benchmarks.
Age of Property & Potential for System Updates: Built in 2008, the property is older than several comparable listings (e.g., 2012-2018 builds). While 'upgraded,' potential buyers may inquire about the age and condition of major systems (HVAC, roof, plumbing, electrical) which could require future investment.
Lack of Gated Community Status: Unlike some comparable luxury properties in the area (e.g., Lambert Ranch which is guard-gated), this property is located on a cul-de-sac but is not explicitly stated to be within a gated community, which some luxury buyers prioritize for added security and exclusivity.
