If you’re selling here
Explain the home’s actual features with records and accurate measurements. Keep development or permitted-use statements grounded in current parcel-specific information.
If you’re buying here
Check current city records and test your own route at the time you will use it. Distinguish adopted rules from proposals, and ask qualified advisers about the implications for the specific property.
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?
