Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $998/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Scarborough Village market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Scarborough Village are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Excellent Flexibility
With 6 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Scarborough Village.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.

Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Scarborough Village properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,575 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
