CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =7405, other record lot size in square feet = 7839. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3567, other record living area = 2570. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 6.
- Extended Market Time
With 97 days on the market and a significant $100,000 price reduction, the property may be facing challenges with buyer perception or initial overpricing relative to current demand.
- High Lot Coverage
The large 3,567 sq. ft. building footprint on a 7,405 sq. ft. lot leaves relatively limited outdoor yard space, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking expansive private gardens or play areas.
