French term or phrase: vieillissante en compétition prix
This is a phrase under a list of inconveniences of this property. The advantages are placed in the next column

"Résidence des années 2000 vieillissante en compétition prix"

Is it just saying that the property is losing value as it is recently built/ new build?

ageing, compared to competing properties in the same price range
Explanation:
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!
And, separately, that this is in comparison with other competing properties in the same price bracket — suggesting perhaps it is a little over priced for the condiiton it is in...

I take BDF's point, this can be interpreted a different way round; but it seems to me that would be citing an advantage: 'competitively priced because of its age'; whereas here, it is being cited as a disadvantage...

neutral  B D Finch: 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
neutral  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.
agree  Ben Gaia: That is how I understood it. Nicely phrased.
