What I tell my buyers at this price point
The houses that close fastest in this band tend to be turnkey — meaning new flooring or paint in the last 24 months, working HVAC, and clean roof history. If you're willing to do cosmetic work, you can negotiate 3-5% off list. If you need move-in-ready, expect to pay close to list. Either path works — but pick before you start touring.
