The heat is on in Dorset Park with two great homes on Bastedo and Nelson. The bar is getting raised in this area, and don’t be surprised to see $600k+ as the norm in the next few months.

Oh, and be careful with quoted square footage. Frank Place is NOT 1444 square feet (see Brentridge End in this brochure), unless they took over the garage and “finished” it. Any claims in a listing should be questioned. Also, if you see a gate on your fence in a Mattamy townhouse, there’s a simple explanation.  But sadly some agents don’t tell their clients about the right-of-way between homes before they purchase. More information around 2:30 of the video.

And let’s take it back to the old school with a few of today’s homes. Blue tiles? No problem! Older furnishings? We can deal with that. The only math equation that matters to a buyer should be:

Purchase Price + Cost to Fix-up < Future Value

If you get the numbers to line up there, then there’s a huge green light to go ahead.

Pick of the day Moreau Lane is a unique property on a street that hasn’t seen a ton of turnover in the last ten years, but now that the younger families are older, we should see more like the one that sold a few weeks ago. Why is it so neat? Well, there’s a loft area above the garage, and a wide open layout that I can only describe by breaking out my wallet to show you.
