How do you know if your SFH is Class A, B, or C?

[Josh L.]

I need to update my place when the tenant moves out, but I'm not sure to what degree I need to upgrade it as that will depend on what Class it belongs to. But, I'm not sure how to identify what class my property would be- if its a Class A, Class B, or Class C.

What should  you be looking at to know what class your property should be in?

There's objective criteria if we're talking about an apartment to identify the differences between different classes where they look at the age of the property, but I'm not sure if they should apply to a SFH.

According to that criteria, my place would be Class C or Class D because it was built in the 70s. 

But, its got peek-a-boo ocean views from the various rooms and attached decks. And, its fairly close to the beach where it takes me over 10 minutes to walk to the beach. The bathrooms were renovated a few years ago with new vanities and granite countertops, but the kitchen still has its original countertops and cabinets but comes with stainless steel appliances. 

Its located a famous coastal California city that you've probably heard of, but it also means there are neighborhoods that are much nicer than mine. When you're looking at Class A vs Class B, are you looking at the differences between properties in the same city or are you casting a wider net across the county?

This is for a townhome so should I factor in the community's amenities- pool and tennis courts but no fitness center?

Would you call this a Class A or Class B?
