How Summerset actually prices

What matters when you are buying a home
What the app will not tell you is why one house sat for sixty days while a nearly identical one went in a weekend with five offers. There is always a reason. Sometimes it is the floor plan, sometimes it is what backs onto the yard, and sometimes the sellers priced off a number they needed rather than one the market supports.
Weigh the settled community against newer facilities honestly. Both are real answers and only one of them is yours.
Our job is telling you which is which before you fall for one, and telling you plainly when a house is a bad idea. Especially one you love.
