SUMMARY
This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $1,499,900—positioned well above the $1,262,142 Fair Market Value by 18%.

This is a complex, high-reward acquisition ideal for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Experienced Contractors capable of navigating auction terms and interior modernization.

Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1947 (>70 years old) with no reported renovations, the property shows clear signs of aging including a heavily cracked concrete driveway and weathered exterior siding. While currently tenant-occupied, the interior condition is completely unknown to the seller, and it is being sold as-is via auction, indicating it likely requires significant rehabilitation and updates to its core systems.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Substantial Living Space
With 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across 2,369 square feet, this property offers a rare and expansive footprint suitable for large families or multi-generational living.
- Generous Lot Size
The 8,704 square foot lot provides significant outdoor space and potential for future expansion or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to increase value.
- High Investment Potential
Located in a high-demand San Jose zip code, this property presents a strong opportunity for investors to add value through renovation in a competitive Silicon Valley market.

- Auction Terms and Fees
The sale is subject to auction terms, including a buyer's premium and seller approval, which adds complexity and additional out-of-pocket costs to the transaction.
