This Raytown fixer sits on over an acre, and buyers keep saving it 3.6 times more than the rest.

By Josh Funnell
Real estate, Raytown, MO

This home needed cosmetic work, a full basement still unfinished, and buyers kept clicking save anyway. It picked up 116 saves on Zillow, more than almost anything else we tracked this week. That works out to 3.6 times the average save count among this week's finalists, a 265% lift. A group of buyers in Raytown is already set up to get an alert the moment a home like this one moves. A fixer with good bones on a big lot, and people noticed.

Why this one pulled ahead

This home sits on over an acre with three bedrooms and a bath and a half. Hardwood floors run throughout, and the layout is simple and functional. A full basement downstairs is unfinished, which leaves room for more living space, more bedrooms, or a rec room down the line. The place could use some cosmetic TLC, but the bones are solid and the lot is big. It reads like a project for a first-time buyer who wants to put their own stamp on it, or an investor looking for the next one.

From the listing: “Situated on over an acre, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers plenty of potential for its next owner.”
