Why RET noticed it

RET View

RET noticed this home, but its price and trade-offs do not currently support a Select recommendation.

The catch

The listing says the home needs work and at least one occupant must be 55. Confirm current association costs, occupancy rules and the renovation budget; the lowest recent sold prices are close to this ask.

What could change our view

A material price, status, condition, ownership-cost or competing-home change that removes this specific advantage would trigger a new review.

Property details are based on listing/provider information and should be confirmed during normal buyer due diligence.

How RET evaluates properties

The listing facts come from the MLS; RET has not inspected the home. RET compares similar home types, sizes and waterfront settings. Check condition, measurements and any seller credits directly. Asking prices show what sellers want; completed sales show what buyers paid. RET Select also requires a clear reason to choose the home and a current review of its risks. This is not an appraisal or an offer recommendation.

How It Compares

This home asks about 12.2% less per square foot than the middle price of the similar recent sales. Its asking price is $82 per square foot, compared with $93 across 6 reviewed listing-reported sales from 2025-11-21 to 2026-10-06. Price per square foot divides the price by indoor living area; it helps compare homes of different sizes.

Comparison confidence: Moderate. Some homes differ in neighborhood, age, size or sale date. Condition, renovation and seller credits have not been priced into the difference. This is not an appraisal.
