The "Updated vs. Original" Spread
Pricing Here is Tricky.
Tres Lomas is the core of the Tanque Verde market. Currently, we see unrenovated homes listing near $400,000, while updated properties in Tres Lomas East and North are closing between $500,000 and $600,000.
The gap is in the details. Because these homes were built in the 1970s, buyers punish "original condition" severely. We help you decide if you should renovate to hit that $550k+ mark or price aggressively to sell as-is.
Marketing the Freedom Lifestyle
In Tres Lomas, you aren't just selling a house; you are selling the freedom to park an RV and build a workshop.
