Agent's Comments

What stands out about this home

On a (3-bed / 2.5-bath, 1,536 sq ft) like this, comps put it in the $197K–$313K band. Limited nearby closings, so treat the range as directional and expect to adjust once a real agent pulls fresh comps. Condition decides where inside the band it lands. Tired = bottom, kept up = top. At 42 years old, the systems question matters — roof, HVAC, electrical. Those are the big-ticket surprises.

These highlights are generated from public data, comparable sales, and environmental records — not a formal appraisal. A walk-through and local agent analysis are always recommended.
