If you’re selling here
Make the ownership responsibilities clear and organize the documents that apply to the property. Choose pricing comparisons that reflect the actual housing type and condition.
If you’re buying here
Walk the area and the routes you expect to use. For a strata home, investigate the corporation as well as the suite; for a detached home, review the parcel and maintenance history.
Make the comparison property-specific
Compare ownership type, condition, floor plan, parking and storage rights, access, and the relevant documents. Ask which nearby sales are useful evidence and which differences make others less relevant. A broad neighbourhood average cannot replace that work.
Take these questions to the viewing

- Which property details are supported by records?
- What costs or responsibilities come with this ownership type?
