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.

I looked at new houses in that exact area when they were first built. Some of them, including this one, are too close to Morse Blvd. The traffic noise would kill the deal for me.
I would also point out that the rule for "no profit" in the first year is not exactly true. The seller can add the full cost for upgrades and the real estate commission to the price before any profit is calculated.
