I would estimate over $10,000 has been spent on landscaping not to mention the other hundreds of dollars spent on other things to made the house livable. The original purchase price in 07/2020 was $530,600 and is now listed for sale at $549,500. If one factors in what has been spent on this house and the sales commission for the sale, the current owners are not making anything off of this sale. If you’re looking to purchase a Bridgeport model, this might be a good deal for you.

There's really no incentive for them to price the house any higher. A house under a year old has to turn over any profits to the developer.
