ageing, compared to competing properties in the same price range
I think your incorrect parsing is hindering understanding here; I believe it is saying that this is an early 2000s property that is beginning to age a bit — needs refreshing etc.; don't forget, it could be nearly 20 years old!

: This seems to be a non-standard description. Could it mean that, though it's no longer new, it's competitively priced?

Admit I hadn't seen it that way round — but then this is listed as a disadvantage

Daryo
: I think it makes more sense to interpret it as "ageing property, thus competitively priced /priced to sell", but not 100% sure - the ST is ambiguous.

Yes, but this is listed as a disadvantage, which would therefore be a curious way to express it.
