Congratulations to the buyers on their new home and their return to the Pioneer Valley! 🏡
After living in New York City, they are moving back to the area. 🚙 One of the buyers grew up here, so being close to family was an important part of their search.
We looked at several historic homes before finding a classic Colonial farmhouse in Florence, close to Florence center and in the same neighborhood as one of the buyer’s parents. The updated home has a wraparound porch, detached garage, and a large, flat backyard.🌿🌸
One interesting part of evaluating this home was its owned solar system☀️ and battery backup. Improvements such as solar are not necessarily reflected dollar-for-dollar in an appraisal, so we discussed that possibility before deciding how to approach the offer.
It was another multiple-offer situation, and the buyers’ offer was accepted.
For these buyers, the value of the home was about much more than any one feature. They found the historic home and outdoor space they wanted—and they get to live close to family.
Wishing them many happy years in their new home!
