Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1991, this 33-year-old home is functional and move-in ready, as evidenced by a completed FHA appraisal. While it benefits from key system updates including a 10-year-old roof and a newer HVAC system, the interior finishes—such as the carpeting and fixtures—appear dated and original to the 90s construction, fitting the criteria for a property needing minor cosmetic updates.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10019, living area = 1495.
- Transaction Readiness

- Updated Major Systems

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Market Stigma
Being 'freshly relisted' after a failed escrow can sometimes lead to buyer hesitation, even when the cause was strictly related to previous buyer financing.
