Karen your question is timely and brings up an interesting dilemna. Florence expanded or suburban is surrounded by more and more new home developments that have very attractive prices for persons coming from other areas whose homes have been selling for much higher prices. You have then the great house for the money scenario which caused many buyers checking the area not to even look at older homes closer to the inner-city. These properties really were not priced that high considering the hard wood floors, specialty moldings, fireplaces, and larger lots that many include. Some of your 2 bdrm still had dens, offices, or family rooms that still made them a real buy. Your search may take a little longer but the perfect home for you is probably not as far away as you think. With the ist time buyer assist programs and some closing help we can probably find you a home you will be happy to buy.

Just because a home is priced at a certain amount does not mean you have to offer that. There are a lot of foreclosures coming on the market. Does it need to be in Florence or can it be in the surrounding areas? Check out my website and email me and I will assist you in finding something you can afford.
