Seminole Heights
- Price band
- $470,000s
- Outcome
- 38 days to close
1926 bungalow. Inspection found cast-iron sewer failure and active knob-and-tube in two rooms. We renegotiated $19,000 in credits rather than walking, because the bones and the location were worth it.
02 · Sale
Brandon
- Price band
- $385,000s
- Outcome
- 11 days to contract
Listed $12,000 below what the sellers wanted after we showed them the three closest comparables. Four offers in the first weekend, closed above the list price.
03 · Purchase
Clearwater
- Price band
- $680,000s
- Outcome
- Walked away
Flood insurance came back at $11,400 a year against the $4,000 the buyer had budgeted. We pulled out inside the inspection period and found a Zone X property two miles inland the following month.
