Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1991, this 33-year-old home is well-maintained and move-in ready but lacks a comprehensive modern renovation. While major systems like the HVAC and roof (10 years old) have been updated, the interior finishes, kitchen, and bathrooms reflect the original construction era. It fits the 'fair' criteria as a property built within the last 25 to 40 years that is functional but shows signs of being outdated.

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 = 10018, living area = 1495.

  • Updated Major Systems

    The property features a newer HVAC system and a roof approximately 10 years old, significantly reducing the immediate need for high-cost capital improvements.

  • Expansive and Functional Lot

    The 10,018 sq. ft. lot is fully fenced with double gates and includes mature landscaping with automatic sprinklers, providing a private, secure, and low-maintenance outdoor environment.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Dated Construction Era

    Built in 1991, the home may require cosmetic updates and modernizing to compete with the aesthetics of newer residential developments.

  • Geographic Market Volatility

    Located in California City, the property is subject to the specific economic fluctuations of the high desert region, which can impact long-term resale velocity compared to more urbanized California markets.
