Hence why architects pay a lot of attention to the type of control joints used in the construction process. Just so you know, this home was built with frame control joints. Not only do we know the type, but we also know that the assessors have graded the quality of these control joints with a letter grade - C. Lots of wood were used in the construction of the exterior walls of the home. Residents rely on central air conditioning for their cooling system. There is a single fireplace in the home which may result in additional cleaning fees for the homeowner. The property was last sold in Sep 8, 2023 for $120,000. That's $125.00 per sqft.

Speaking of costs, many buyers and sellers often forget to take into consideration the closing costs they may occur. Closing costs can stem from anything mortgage or property related to fees related to your property title. As you'll soon learn from our guide, fees can quickly add up hence why as a rule of thumb, we typically recommend setting aside at least 5% of the purchase price to cover potential closing costs. Don't worry, any additional you save up can always go towards your principal. Better safe than sorry!
