Advisory
What Sellers Should Know
Pricing should distinguish between original homes, renovated properties, and newer infill. Lot, parking, basement finish, renovation quality, and proximity to busier streets can all affect how buyers compare properties.
For older homes, presentation should make both the architectural character and meaningful updates easy to understand.
Advisory
What Buyers Should Compare
Compare the quality of previous renovations and additions rather than focusing only on finishes. For older homes, sewer lines, electrical service, plumbing, roof condition, drainage, and basement moisture may warrant closer inspection.
For newer attached properties, review parking, shared structures, HOA or party-wall arrangements when applicable, and the quality of construction.
