Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This property, built in 2022, features high-end, modern finishes throughout, including European oak engineered flooring, custom millwork, ZIA cement tile kitchen accents, and recessed lighting. The kitchen appears new with contemporary dark cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. The overall design and installed systems (like solar panels with backup battery) are of excellent quality. However, the property is explicitly stated as 'approximately 90% complete' and 'offered as-is,' requiring the buyer to complete significant remaining work such as the driveway, landscaping, sewer extension, and final inspections for Certificate of Occupancy. While the quality of the existing construction is excellent, its incomplete status prevents it from being truly 'move-in ready' or fully 'Excellent' according to the criteria, as it requires immediate and substantial completion work from the buyer.
