Key Characteristics & Appeal

This property at 865 Mcdermot Avenue is a 720-square-foot home built in 1945, situated on a 4,153-square-foot lot. What stands out immediately is the land: the lot is above average for both the street and the West Alexander neighbourhood, ranking in the top 30% and 23% respectively. While the living area is on the smaller side—ranking well below average compared to similar homes locally and citywide—the assessed value tells a different story. The property’s assessment of 222k is around the street average but climbs to above average within the neighbourhood, which has a lower typical assessment of 187.3k. This suggests the home may offer more value relative to its immediate surroundings than its size alone implies.

The appeal here is practical rather than flashy. It suits buyers who prioritize outdoor space over interior square footage, or those looking for an older home (built 1945, which is newer than the neighbourhood average of 1921) in a location where land is comparatively generous. It could work well for someone wanting a manageable footprint with room for a garden, a workshop, or future expansion—provided they’re comfortable with a modest interior. It’s less suited to those seeking a large, move-in-ready house or a property that ranks strongly across all metrics.

5. How should I interpret the rankings shown for each category?
Higher rankings (closer to #1) mean the property scores better in that category—larger lot, newer build, larger living area, or higher assessed value.
