Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to others?
While the 6,014 sqft lot is below the average for Kebir Place itself, it is much closer to the average size for the wider Crescent Park neighbourhood and the city overall. This means less yard maintenance than some immediate neighbours, but still a decent outdoor space.
2. Is the home older than most in the area?
Interestingly, no. Built in 1957, this home is actually newer than the average house in the Crescent Park neighbourhood, ranking in the top 15% locally for its year built.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. We recommend inquiring about the finish quality, permits, and whether it includes added features like a bathroom or legal secondary suite.
4. Why is there a significant difference between the last sale price and the assessed value?
The home sold for $33,500 in January 2017. The current assessed value of $41,500 reflects the provincial assessment for taxation purposes, which considers market trends and may not equal the current list or sale price. Market conditions and property improvements since 2017 would influence its actual value.
5. What is the significance of a detached garage?
A detached garage offers flexibility—it can be used for vehicle storage, a workshop, or extra storage without impacting the home's living space. It may also present future potential (like a studio space) but requires going outdoors to access.
