Can anyone suggest a minimum price for an entry level home. I read the asking prices but what are they actually selling for?
Thanks

Hi Mike,
I see it's your first post. Welcome to TOTV! Are you aware that there are manufactured homes available in the original section of TV?
My suggestion is to work with a Realtor and let him or her know the price-range you are looking for. It will not add to your cost, as the buyer's and seller's agents split the commission. Get a written "buyer's agent" agreement with your Realtor, so that he/she legally represents only your interest in the transaction.
If you see a home that is just what you are looking for, but think the asking price is too high, make what you consider a reasonable offer within your budget. The worse that can happen is your offer is not accepted. I can't speak for the market today, but we paid considerably below asking price when we purchased in TV a year ago.
Best wishes!
