* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
This 1951 probate property is offered 'as-is' and requires an all-cash sale, which typically indicates the home is not in a condition to qualify for traditional financing. With no mention of recent renovations and the 'estate' status, the property likely retains original mid-century systems, kitchen, and bathroom fixtures that have exceeded their life expectancy. The requirement for substantial rehabilitation to meet modern safety and comfort standards places it in the poor category.
Situated in the highly sought-after 'South of Conant' neighborhood of Long Beach, known for its residential charm and long-term value stability.
The property is served by excellent local schools, including Marshall Academy of the Arts and Henry K-8, both of which carry high performance ratings.
The 5,168 sq ft lot features a detached two-car garage, providing an ideal footprint for a potential ADU conversion or property expansion.
The requirement for an all-cash sale and a 10% cashier's check significantly limits the buyer pool to well-capitalized investors.
The sale is subject to court confirmation and an overbidding process, which adds layers of uncertainty and a rigid timeline for potential buyers.
The disclosure that the owner passed away on the premises may deter certain buyers and impact the property's perceived appeal.
