Although the housing market has been saturated with foreclosure properties there are opportunities for First-Time homebuyers to purchase affordable, energy-efficient, newly constructed homes in Stockton. Visionary Home Builders of California, Inc., a local nonprofit developer, created a community of Tierra del Sol LogoNet Zero Energy Homes.

Current Market Trend. We toured these homes and I was extremely impressed with what these homes had to offer for first-time homebuyers. Median Home Value in this area is $183,900. Currently there are 8 active homes available in this community listed at the price of $129,000. All of the homes have 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms, 1,268 sq. ft. of living space,  lot space of 4,792 sq. ft., and 1 car garage.  Enough space for a family to begin their homeownership and to top it off the home includes energy star appliances: Refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and washer and dryer.
