Plenty of those homes have already been "upgraded" and have new HVAC systems.

Plus, they have many of the typical "after market" upgrades than many people want to have.

For example, our (now 7 year old home that we purchased 4.5 years ago), had Plantation Shutters on all the windows, a Pegasus Water Softener, Epoxied Garage Floor, a Stained Driveway, Front Walk and Lanai floor, pull out drawers in the pantry, and built in custom closets in all of the BRs.
