In our market and in the housing industry in general, you will find that large houses will sell for less $/sf than a smaller house.  The same trend holds true for a 1-story versus a 2-story.....the 2-story home will sell for less $/sf...even if they both have the same square footage.  A house with a detached garage will sell for more than an attached garage.  Now for the usual disclaimers:  You must always consider the lot description, location, condition, etc. 

So if you were looking for the best "deal" and all things about the lot and subdivision being equal, the condition of all the homes, etc., you would want to find a 1-story with smaller square footage with low $/sf!

So, in a perfect world, the bargain hunters might want to pick the following house - if it were available!

1-story
cul-de sac, golf course, lake lot or larger lot
all sides brick (low maintenance)
3 bedrooms plus formal dining plus study (good for resale)
small square footage and priced at $75/sf or less!

I have a search set up for homes priced at $75/sf or less.  If you would like to be notified of new listings or reduced listings that meet that criteria, just send me an email and I'll add you to the list.  No obligation, of course!  Just remember, some of the homes are foreclosures or are priced according to condition.  Not every listing at $75/sf or less is a bargain.  BUT, you will get a chance to look at them first!

As always, if you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell real estate, please let me know!  I love real estate and am glad to share any inside knowledge of our Pearland market!
