Comparable Analysis

• 158 High Street sold for $475,000 in May 2022. This comparable is a bungalow and consists of 2 beds 2 baths. The comparable is approximately the same size as the subject property but it has a basement as opposed to a crawl space. The comparable is aluminium siding and outdated throughout. However the subject property has a much larger lot. Therefore, after adjustments, we believe the subject property would sell for at least $425,000 “as-is” on the MLS.
• 129 Lavinia Street sold for $499,900 in April 2022. This bungalow consists of 2 beds 1 bath and is smaller in size than the subject property. It has had some renovations done to it with modest finishes. The comparable sits on a smaller lot size as compared to the subject property. Therefore, after adjustments, and depending on finishes, we believe the property would sell for at least $500,000 on the MLS.
