This 3-bed, 1-bath, 1,800 sqft home in Starke is listed at $119K, which is well below the area’s average sold price for similar-sized homes (typically $222K–$260K). However, the property needs updates and has been vacant for over a year, which usually means more work (and cost) up front. On the plus side, it’s in a city neighborhood, near schools, and priced attractively at just $66/sqft, compared to neighborhood averages of $137–$150/sqft.
If you’re the owner, invest in basic cosmetic updates—fresh paint, landscaping, and minor repairs—to boost curb appeal and appeal to buyers without overspending. For investors, budget carefully for renovations and factor in holding costs, as homes in this area can sit on the market for 4–6 months. Don’t go overboard on upgrades; stick to essentials that deliver the best bang for your buck.
