Cons

Aggressive Financial Incentives: The prominent offer of '$300k of EQUITY + $20k GRANT + NO PMI or 5.99% APR 10yr ARM' suggests potential challenges with market absorption or pricing, which might raise questions for some buyers about the property's underlying value without these incentives.
Modest Square Footage for Price: At 1,582 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest for a property listed at $1.45 million, which could be a limiting factor for buyers seeking larger homes in this price bracket.
Age of Original Structure: Despite extensive updates, the home was built in 1962. While well-maintained and upgraded, some buyers may prefer newer construction or have concerns about the long-term integrity of an older foundation or elements not explicitly mentioned as updated.
