Cons
Listed Above Estimated Market Value: The current list price of $949,000 is higher than the property's estimated value of $914,583.88, which may suggest it is priced aggressively relative to current market conditions.
Older Original Construction Year: Despite extensive remodeling, the home was originally built in 1950. While major systems are new, some buyers may prefer newer construction or have concerns about the underlying original structure.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has already seen a price reduction from $998,000 to $949,000, which, combined with being above estimated value, could signal to buyers that there may be further room for negotiation.
