Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on the street?
The data shows it is very representative of Bryn Mawr Road. Its living area, assessed value, and land size are all around the average for the street, meaning it’s neither the largest nor the smallest property in the immediate row.
2. Is the assessed value the same as the market price?
No. The assessed value (listed as $41.10k) is for municipal tax purposes. The last recorded sale was in late 2022 for between $29.50k and $32.50k. Market price is determined by current conditions and can differ significantly from both these figures.
3. What does "above average" for the year built mean?
On Bryn Mawr Road, being built in 1972 is "above average" because it is newer than many neighbouring homes. This suggests the street has a mix of older and newer homes, and this property is on the newer side of that spectrum.
4. What are the advantages of a larger lot in this area?
The lot size is above average compared to the entire city. In a mature neighbourhood, this means more private outdoor space, potential for landscaping, and possibly fewer constraints from nearby homes. It’s a feature that can’t be easily added later.
5. Where can I find the exact historical sale price?
