* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1985, this property is in mostly original condition and requires cosmetic modernization. While the unit features updated laminate wood flooring, the kitchen and bathrooms retain dated 1980s-style cabinetry, fluorescent lighting, and older appliances. The presence of dated wallpaper and the listing's own admission that 'updating is needed' align with the fair condition criteria for a functional but outdated home.
As the lowest-priced unit in the complex, this property presents a prime opportunity for investors or first-time buyers to enter the market and build equity through improvements.
Located in a secure gated community, the unit offers access to premium amenities including two pools, spas, and tennis courts, all within a central location between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage.
This lower-level condo features dual private patios that provide both mountain and pool views, maximizing the desert lifestyle and offering easy access to recreational facilities.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
The property is noted as needing updates throughout, which will require the buyer to budget for immediate additional capital expenditures for modernizing the space.
The monthly association fee of $430 is relatively high for a unit of this size, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
