Updated Aug 27, 2026 from local MLS closed-sale data
Useful context for as-is value, bridge loans, and hard money underwriting — not a substitute for a property-specific appraisal.
In Half Moon Bay, recent pricing, marketing time, and inventory help frame how a private lender appraisal should treat as-is value, subject-to-repairs scenarios, and distressed or incomplete properties. The assignment still turns on the subject property and the loan decision — these figures are market context only.
