This 55+ Active-Adult Residence is a Strong Value Opportunity, listed at $924,000—positioned slightly above the $914,510 Fair Market Value. While not a discount play, the property offers a rare, spacious 4-bedroom layout with a 2-car garage and a Premium Creek-side Lot with a private deck. Featuring a Fair Condition Rating with brand-new hardwood floors, it provides a stable, fee-simple ownership model in a resort-style community. With proximity to Top-Rated Schools like Sage Creek High, this is an ideal acquisition for Active Retirees or Downsizing Professionals.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1997, making it over 20 years old. While it features brand-new hardwood flooring and appears very well-maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms are dated, featuring original oak cabinetry and older white appliances. Per the criteria, the age of the primary systems and the need for cosmetic updates in functional areas place it in the Fair category.
High School: Sage Creek High School (9/10).
As a Fee-Simple Real Property Condominium on a permanent 433A foundation, residents own the land with no space rent, allowing the home to qualify for standard conventional financing.
The property features a highly unique 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout with a rare 2-car garage, offering significantly more square footage and utility than typical units in the community.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
The strict 55+ community guidelines and mandatory background approval process for all residents significantly limit the potential buyer pool and resale flexibility.
With 117 days on the market and multiple price adjustments, the property may be facing challenges regarding its value proposition relative to current buyer demand.
