More Insights
Built in 2003 (22 years old).
Condition: Built in 2003, this property is 21 years old, placing it just outside the 10-20 year range for a 'Good' score based on age alone. However, the unit is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. It features engineered-wood floors throughout the main living areas and bedroom, which is a significant and modern update. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, including a wine cooler, and granite countertops, all appearing well-maintained and functional, though the cabinet style and tile flooring are somewhat dated. The bathroom is clean and functional, also with tile flooring and a standard vanity. The property shows minimal wear and tear and is clearly well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' criteria that 'systems are well-maintained with minimal wear and tear; major systems are functional and within their expected lifespan' and 'some components may be updated, but the property has not undergone a full recent renovation.'

Volatile Pricing Strategy: The recent substantial increase in list price from $375,000 to $500,000, following previous reductions, suggests an inconsistent pricing strategy that may confuse buyers or indicate market challenges.
Limited Living Space: As a one-bedroom, one-bath unit at 791 sqft, the property offers limited space, which might restrict its appeal to a broader range of buyers, particularly those seeking more room or future expansion.
