Default Re: VLS Listing

We were looking at some pre-owned homes that sold recently, and the sale price seemed to be around $15,000 less than the asking price. One home, for example, they asked $300 K and sold for $285. When you factor in the upgraded and mature landscaping, lower bonds and lower closing costs, other upgrades such as enclosed lanai or driveway pavers, etc., the prices can become comparable. The main thing, in my opinion, if the prices are within range of each other, is location. A home within a short golf cart ride of the town square, for example, would probably be worth more than a home far away from the square. Corner lots with fewer neighbors tend to be worth more, and so on. Lots under a powerline would not be premium lots, in my opinion.
