Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1983 (41 years old), the property exceeds the 20-year threshold for a fair rating. While it features functional updates such as dual-pane windows and laminate flooring, the overall age and lack of a comprehensive modern renovation to the kitchen and bathrooms suggest it is dated and requires minor updates to meet current market standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Exceptional Market Value
Priced at $550,000, this property offers a rare and affordable entry point into the San Jose real estate market, making it highly attractive for first-time buyers and investors.
- Strategic Commuter Location
The townhouse is ideally situated with immediate access to Highway 101 and is in close proximity to major retail hubs like Costco, dining, and public transportation.
- Functional Interior Features
The inclusion of a private one-car garage, in-unit laundry facilities, and dual-pane windows provides essential modern conveniences that enhance daily livability.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Association Fees
The monthly HOA fee of $508 is relatively high for a property of this size, which may impact the overall monthly affordability for budget-conscious buyers.
- Limited Square Footage
At just 867 square feet for a two-bedroom layout, the living space is quite compact, which may feel restrictive for families or those requiring a home office.
