We closed on our home - a resale in Gilchrist - at the end of June. We did look at some of the heavily discounted homes both before we bought and since. In most cases, there is an issue with the house.
For example, VNH 210035 is a fully furnished (not minimally furnished) former model Bridgeport. The location is excellent right on a golf course. The house has a beautiful enclosed pool. BUT - there is only a two car garage and from the front bedroom, you are looking directly at the side of your neighbor's house. The current discount is $61,963.
VNH 2240172 is a lovely Gardenia on a corner lot with a golf car garage. BUT the property has a remediated sink hole. The current discount is $21,633.
When we were looking, these are the type of things we found. While the houses that were discounted were new, they were the ones in a neighborhood were all the other homes were sold. Without much effort, we found reasons for the discounts.
