We checked Zillow and Realtor too for sales not covered by TV agent. And, IMO, the older original area homes are not nearly as updated, plain bathrooms, etc., and would cost $$$ to remodel.

No remodeling needed. Gorgeous granite countertops, LVP floor, newly painted inside and out and an extended lanai. It took us 8 months to find THE ONE. In the end, our patience paid off. I think the reason we got a great deal is most buyers are not interested in the Northern areas. We have been here for 20+ years living near LSL and Brownwood. It was time for a change. This is a new adventure for us. Most of all, we are looking forward to living on a street with no rentals.
