I know it's a long weekend, but this could be the best time to buy a house.
Attractive interest rates and the spring market.
While some home sellers were smart to keep their property on the market through the winter as there are always buyers looking, some folks waited for the snow to melt.
1101 CREE AVE, WOODSTOCK
MLS: 70165
Asking: $172,500
OPEN HOUSE: Saturday, March 30, 2-4 p.m.
I'm surprised that after a recent price reduction, this 3-bedroom raised ranch didn't sell quickly.
For a young family it receives an almost perfect score -- newer roof (2011), energy efficient furnace, central air, vinyl windows (Many double-hung for easier cleaning) and breaker panel box, plus updated kitchen with bright cabinets and a dishwasher, plus both bathrooms renovated. Current owners also re-built the back raised wood deck and installed a roof so you can bbq in the rain.
The property itself is large enough for that backyard trampoline or summer splash in an above-ground pool. Privacy galore with tall evergreens. Lot is 55 feet wide. You can also access your yard from both the patio doors off the eat-in kitchen and a lower level walkup.
Location is important here as Algonquin school (K-8) is just a short walk away, and St. Michael's separate school is even closer as you can see the schoolyard from the living room window. Sobey's Plaza is a convenience with a Rexall, Subway, Scotiabank, pizza outlet, and pet store. Cree Avenue is also a relatively quiet crescent -- not a thoroughfare like Springbank, Lansdowne or Devonshire.
If you have no children yet, this would be the ideal address to start your family because there's always value in a detached home (not a semi or condo townhouse).
