If you’re selling here

Collect renovation and maintenance documentation. Have the pricing conversation account for lot characteristics and condition rather than treating every nearby sale as equivalent.

If you’re buying here

Verify any advertised use or future potential independently. Walk the block, inspect the home with appropriate specialists, and confirm the city’s current rules for the exact parcel.

Make the comparison property-specific

Compare ownership type, condition, floor plan, parking and storage rights, access, and the relevant documents. Ask which nearby sales are useful evidence and which differences make others less relevant. A broad neighbourhood average cannot replace that work.

Take these questions to the viewing

  • What about the location changes at different times of day?
  • Which property details are supported by records?
  • What costs or responsibilities come with this ownership type?
  • What remains to be checked before making a decision?
