Definitely agree that it checks their boxes but it will be tough to find 4+ bedrooms in that price range.

Yep, Branford is pretty expensive. I just did a quick search on the MLS for 4+ Bedrooms in Branford the least expensive one currently active is 709k.

That is not the norm so I expanded the search to include currently under contract and closed in the last 90 days. The least expensive 4+ bedroom house was 394k and its only 1512SQFT so those 4 bedrooms are probably pretty small...and its part of an HOA with 299/month fees.

There were less expensive ones that sold but they were far from move in ready and will probably be relisted as flips soon if I had to guess.

709k is insane.. that can buy an enormous property in most states cant it?

It definitely can in some states. As I said though 709k being the lowest is by no means the norm, it's heavily influenced by this market and lower-priced homes going under contract. Thats why I changed the search. I would say for Branford $525k-$550k is probably about average for a decent 4-bedroom house.
