Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others in the area?
The home is competitively sized, but its key advantage is the land. The lot is significantly larger than most on the street and in Inkster Gardens, while the living space and assessed value are above average for Garton Avenue.

2. What is the neighbourhood like?
Inkster Gardens is a mature, established neighbourhood. The property data shows homes here are typically from the late 80s to 90s, making this 1984 build slightly older than the area average but well within the community's character.

3. What does "renovated basement" typically mean here?
While specifics require a viewing, in homes of this era and price point, this usually indicates finished living space—likely including rooms for recreation, laundry, or storage—adding practical square footage to the main-floor layout.

4. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the selling price?
The assessed value ($40.30k) is for taxation purposes and is not a market valuation. The recent sold price history (low $400k range) is a far more accurate reflection of its current market value.

5. What are the less obvious points to consider?
The generous lot is a long-term asset, offering potential not just for enjoyment but also for future improvement. As a one-storey home, it may also appeal to those thinking about accessibility over time. Being an above-average property on its own street can be a stability factor in a changing market.
