home sales: Half-built Florida Homes - Bargain or Disaster-in-Waiting - 05/18/09 07:35 AM
Half built homes are intriguing to potential homeowners who think "Discount" when they see them. Often, these homes can be bought and completed for less than their intended sales price. Whether the homes are still owned by the builder or owned by a lender who foreclosed on the builder, a potential owner who brings in a contractor to finish them might have a new, unlived in home for a great price.
