Pros & Cons
Pros
VA Assumable Loan: Offers a highly attractive 4.5% VA assumable loan option, providing significant financial savings for eligible buyers in the current interest rate climate.
Extensive Interior Upgrades: Features recent upgrades including vinyl flooring, newer kitchen cabinets with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (stove, fridge, dishwasher), and an upgraded bathroom vanity, presenting a modern and move-in ready interior.
Premium Corner Unit Layout: A private corner unit detached on all four sides, boasting the largest 2-bedroom floor plan in the building, offering enhanced privacy and spaciousness.
Central & Convenient Location: Strategically located in the heart of El Cajon, providing immediate access to diverse restaurants, stores, I-8 freeway, and essential community amenities like schools and parks.
In-Unit Laundry: Includes the highly sought-after convenience of an inside washer/dryer, eliminating the need for shared laundry facilities.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $480.0 monthly association fee is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of homeownership.
Recent Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from $415,000 to $410,000 may suggest a need to attract more buyer interest or an initial overpricing.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: While fans are present in all rooms, the absence of central air conditioning could be a notable discomfort during El Cajon's warmer months.
