Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1981 (43 years old), placing it well into the 'Fair' to 'Poor' age bracket. While the interior shows some cosmetic updates such as newer laminate flooring and fresh paint, the kitchen is significantly dated with older yellow laminate countertops, an aged dishwasher, and vinyl flooring. The exterior shows signs of age with moss on the roof. It is functional and move-in ready, but the age of the systems and the dated finishes necessitate modernization and minor repairs.
