It is, but resale isn't like the GTA either. The Bungalow Project, finished, will be "worth" less than a mess of a house up there. Very tight market for fixing old houses down here. The Wilson Cambria house would probably fetch 120-150K when done-roof, brickwork, hvac, needed interior and foundation repairs, porch repair...Acreage is under what's required for horses, or it might go higher.
Here's a couple in the same town, that are in town, I love these:
Wow, thanks for sharing those! I agree, that cobblestone is lovely.
I am not generally well versed in real estate, I only know the values here... I guess land value makes up the majority of the price. Very interesting. My mother's 1920's townhouse in downtown Toronto was just reassessed at $750,000, and it's about 1200 sq ft and in need of various repairs with a very small lot. It was assessed at $450,000 3 years ago (and no changes have been made since then). Truly mind boggling!! Since I am on the outskirts of the GTA, we don't see the costs increase quite so dramatically, but things do tend to increase in my area by roughly 30K each year recently. Don't know when it will plateau, but I don't think this can go on forever... And most houses here sell at a bidding war, so it's a bit unpredictable.
