Entry-level single-family homes

Housing prices vary in this neighborhood, depending on the size of the house and scale of interior touches. “People are driven by price because you have to go to an area that you can afford to live in. For an entry-level single-family home, you’re in the $400,000s no matter what,” says Debbie Cilli, a Realtor with RE/MAX Select Group. A two-bedroom, one-bath home can sell for $550,000 while a larger five-bedroom, three-bath home can sell for $995,000. But a three-bedroom, two-bath home with brand new interior can also sell in the upper $900,000 range.
