From your front door, a neighborhood trail invites morning jogs or evening strolls that lead to the lake at Crescent-your own little escape into nature. Inside, natural light pours across the open-concept main level, where 9' ceilings create an airy sense of space. The chef-inspired kitchen takes center stage with a bold matte black island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and upgraded stained maple cabinetry that blends style with function. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or savoring a quiet morning coffee, the seamless flow from kitchen to dining to great room makes every moment feel effortless. Upstairs, the primary suite is your private retreat with a walk-in closet and spa-like en-suite bath. A second bedroom with its own full bath ensures guests or family have space to unwind, while the lower-level bedroom and bath flex to fit your lifestyle-whether that's a cozy office, media room, or welcoming guest suite. Nestled in Cranberry Twp, Crescent offers a serene neighborhood lake ideal for fishing, a central green for gatherings, and picturesque walking trails just steps from your front door-all just a half mile from the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex and a short walk to Pittsburgh's first Wegmans.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 3-bed/3.5-bath townhouse listed at $500k. Condition is rated excellent.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $-333 ($-4k/yr) — negative.
  • To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $452k (9.6% below list).
  • To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $395k (21.0% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $395k (21.0% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
  • Cap rate 5.5% vs local median 3.4% in Cranberry — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads: area grade D — affects rentability + tenant quality, not the cash-flow math above.
  • Seneca Valley SD (rural): math 48% / reading 67% proficiency, ranked #73 of 539 in PA (top 14%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease; only 12% free/reduced lunch — higher-income household profile.
  • Zoned schools: Rowan El Sch (math 62% / reading 77%, grade A-, #151 of 1,518 statewide, top 12%, 527 students, 14% FRL); Ryan Gloyer Ms (math 32% / reading 64%, grade C-, #153 of 512 statewide, top 30%, 1,123 students, 21% FRL); Seneca Valley Hs (math 71% / reading 75%, grade B+, #35 of 437 statewide, top 8%, 2,307 students, 18% FRL).
  • Market conditions: Rents soft (-1.9%/yr); 397 active listings in the ZIP; 14 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals at typical pace (median 28d on market — plan ~3-4 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); 43% of comp listings sitting > 30 days — soft ceiling on asking rent; high-income renter base; 987 units permitted in Butler County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • This rent runs 38% of the median local income ($124k/yr) — at the standard rent-burdened threshold; future hikes will face affordability resistance.

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $3k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $15k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Butler County population projected to shrink 5% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 333 days — a 12% lower offer ($440k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 2 sale attempts; this cycle's ask has dropped $39k (7%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
Recommended offer $395,220 (21.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
  2. It's been on market 333 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 21% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  3. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  4. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  5. The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
  6. What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
  7. What's the recent tenant-quality profile in this submarket — average credit score on applications, eviction rate, late-payment / NSF rate, and stable-employment percentage? A property-management company in the area should have these aggregated.
  8. How much new for-sale + rental construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply typically softens prices + rents 12–24 months out; constrained supply supports both.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.
