Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is move-in ready and features extensive recent updates including a fully renovated kitchen with granite countertops, shaker cabinets, and stainless steel appliances, as well as updated bathrooms and new flooring throughout. While the structure dates to 1969, major systems have been modernized with a newer roof and dual-pane windows (2018) and HVAC (2014). It falls into the 'good' category rather than 'excellent' because some components, such as the 2006 water heater, are nearing the end of their lifespan and the major system updates are slightly outside the 5-year window for an 'excellent' rating.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Aging Water Heater

    While the roof and HVAC have been updated, the water heater dates back to 2006 and may be nearing the end of its typical functional lifespan.

  • Limited Lot Size and HOA Fees
