Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1984 (40 years old), the home has received recent cosmetic updates including new flooring and fresh paint. However, the kitchen and bathrooms remain dated with original-style cabinetry and laminate countertops that have simply been refreshed. The presence of popcorn ceilings and older fixtures indicates that while the home is move-in ready, the primary systems and wet areas are well beyond the 20-year mark and need modernization.
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 = 7728, living area = 1254.
- Recent Interior Upgrades
The home features significant cosmetic improvements including new flooring, fresh interior paint, and upgraded windows, providing a modern, move-in-ready aesthetic.
- Prime Commuter Location
Situated in the desirable Cooley Ranch community near the I-10 and I-215 interchange, the property offers exceptional accessibility to the Inland Empire's major employment hubs.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Compact Living Space

Built in 1984, the property may soon require capital improvements to major systems such as the roof or HVAC that fall outside the scope of the recent cosmetic renovations.
