With a lot size nearly identical to the interior square footage, the outdoor space is limited to a small patio, which may not satisfy buyers seeking a traditional backyard.
- Recent Price Adjustment
A $50,000 price reduction within the first 24 days on market suggests the initial pricing was aggressive, potentially indicating a need for further market stabilization.
