$400K–$500K Guidance: Buy Clean, Sell Strong

This band is where buyers often stretch—so discipline matters. We look for strong fundamentals (layout, lot utility, location, condition) and avoid paying “top dollar” for problems you’ll inherit. Sellers: clean documentation and a tight value narrative can drive stronger terms.

Buyer: Total Cost Reality

Focus on payment + utilities + insurance + maintenance (and fees if applicable). The best deal is the one you can comfortably hold.

Buyer: Condition + Future Costs

Roof/windows/mechanicals and visible maintenance signals. In this range, surprises are expensive—verify early.

Seller: Reduce Buyer Uncertainty

Improvements list + receipts, utility history, and clear disclosures. Certainty helps pricing and terms.
