Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This move-in-ready single-family home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with refinished hardwood floors and fresh interior paint. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2021 with granite countertops, new cabinetry, hardwood flooring, a dishwasher, and an updated ceiling fan in the breakfast nook. An enclosed front porch adds usable space, while the finished walk-out basement provides flexibility with a second full bathroom and ample storage.
Updates over the years include hardwood floor refinishing in 2005, an upstairs bathroom remodel, and professionally landscaped backyard improvements in 2006. Electrical wiring was updated throughout in 2008, and galvanized plumbing from the upstairs bathroom to the basement was replaced. The front porch was enclosed in 2009, and the walk-out basement was finished with the addition of the second full bathroom.
A complete kitchen renovation was completed in 2021, followed by a protective roof coating applied in June 2026 and new protective hardwood floor coating added in July 2026. The fireplace has never been used. Access to I-95 and U.S. Route 202 is described as convenient, with shopping and daily conveniences along Market Street and Concord Pike minutes away, along with nearby parks.

Financial Insights
Estimated NOI and Cap Rate
NOI = area × lease_rate × (100 − vacancy) / 100 × (1 − expense_ratio). Net Operating Income — what the owner takes home each year before mortgage payments and income tax. Effective rent (asking rent minus vacancy losses) minus operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management).
NOI / Yr
$19,133
Cap rate = NOI / list price × 100. Capitalization rate — annual return on a fully cash purchase, before financing. NOI divided by price. Higher means more income per dollar invested, but usually also more risk or older condition. 5–8% is typical for stabilized commercial property; double digits often signal distressed deals.
Cap Rate
6.53%
Suggested Prices Based on Cap Rates
Cap rates vary significantly by property type, market, and asset quality.
Typical U.S. stable-market ranges:
Multifamily — 4.5% to 6.5% (Class A in primary markets often sub-5%; Class C in secondary markets 6%+)
Industrial / Logistics — 5.0% to 7.0% (compressed heavily in recent years due to e-commerce demand)
Office — 6.5% to 9%+ (wide spread post-2020; CBD Class A vs. suburban Class B varies dramatically)
Retail — 5.5% to 8.5% (grocery-anchored on the low end, unanchored strip centers higher)
Hospitality / Hotels — 7.5% to 10%+ (higher due to operational risk)
Self-Storage — 5.5% to 7.5%
Medical Office — 6.0% to 7.5%
Net Lease (single tenant, credit) — 5.0% to 7.0% depending on tenant credit and lease term
Rules of thumb:
Primary markets (NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC) trade at lower cap rates than secondary/tertiary markets, often by 100–200 bps (bps, aka basis points; 1 bp = 0.01%).
Class A assets trade ~50–150 bps tighter than Class B, and Class B tighter than Class C.
Cap rates move inversely with price — a lower cap rate means a higher price for the same NOI.
Spread to the 10-year Treasury is a common benchmark; historically 200–400 bps over the 10-year.
