OK, price range helps. As you look, consider price per square foot and location as well. Expect to pay from about 150 a square foot and up. That means you'll be looking at 1500 to 2100 square foot homes. The 1500 square foot homes always seem to be in abundance.
We paid exactly 150 a square foot and put about 15K in on our own. So, we got the colors, the floor, and brand new appliances as well.
For us, that worked out perfectly for a cul-de-sac, pool ready home. That kept the taxes from rising due to sales price. If you pay a lot more, your taxes can reflect that. Also, bear in mind the homestead exemption is a yearly thing and not immediate unless the previous owner is under exemption.
Lots of little things for sure...
