STONEBRIDGE: BUYERS INSIGHT

Stonebridge is a unique community offering different lifestyle purchases. Having lived in the community for five years I look forward to continuing to deliver my community insights and SERVICE EXCELLENCE to FUTURE Stonebridge home owners. 

"I visit Stonebridge property, through 'Previews, Showings and Open Houses', in order to assure that my clients receive the best value".

TOWNHOMES

When you enter Stonebridge, this community offers residency for the long term. The Townhome delivers on size, functionality and affordability as well as a sound investment. Whether you are looking to live on the east or west side of the community, determining the value of a property for sale is an exercise requiring research and on-site comparisons.

Price differences can be due to a variety of obvious reasons, like the number of bedrooms, an end unit, or two car garage. Other less obvious features can determine value.

This is where my expertise proves valuable - to find the hidden gems that offer the best value for my clients. There is over $100,000 seperating the High and Low in resale. Days on Market has been reduced from 26 days in 2010 o 16 days in 2011 (as a median average).

You need to be very clear on what you are looking for, regarding functionality, location and what you should pay for upgrades offered.

SINGLE FAMILY HOMES

Home buyers are upgrading from within the community (townhomes), Barrhaven and Ottawa in general. The selection from four home builders with an endless list of floor plans and site elevations, will allow you to find your dream home in Stonebridge.

The range in price "SOLD" in 2011 end of third quarter for a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home can be  over $230,000. You need to be very clear on what you are looking for, regarding, location, type of lot and what you should pay for upgrades offered.

Prices direction has changed, YES, but with what type of home? Make sure you have the right comparables before accepting a home profile and offer price.

ADULT LIFESTYLE HOMES

Home buyers who are down sizing from within the community or entering as a new resident of Stonebridge, need to understand that you cannot build a new Adult Lifestyle home in 2011. The market has been quiet in the first nine months of 2011.

DOM (Days on Market) have been reduced from 48 days in 2010 to 14 days in 2011. This is in part due to no new construction and reduced availability of resale inventory in the first 9 months of 2011.

There is a price point that you need to understand to ensure that you are getting value for your decision.

AS A BUYER YOU WANT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE COMMUNITY, CAN PROVIDE KNOWLEDGEABLE REPRESENTATION AND DELIVER ON VALUE, THEREBY ENHANCING YOUR HOME AS A FUTURE INVESTMENT.
