Living in Aberdeen: What the Listings Say

Detached houses make up 35 of the 48 active listings in Aberdeen, or 72. 9 percent of what is on the market. That tells you the shape of this neighbourhood. The median home was built in 2012, so much of the stock is recent construction, and new builds account for 15. 4 percent of current listings. Townhouses hold 12. 5 percent of the count, six in total, with a median price of 694,450 dollars. Another 7 listings fall under other homes at a median of 610,000 dollars. The median living area runs 3,525 square feet, which fits the detached-heavy mix. Prices span a wide range: 524,990 dollars at the low end, 8,850,000 dollars at the top. The overall median list price sits at 1,424,000 dollars. Buildings like Station 38 show up with four listings each.

A 3,525 square foot median gives you real room to spread out, and that size sets the tone for how you live here. Strata fees run a median of 256 dollars where they apply, which mostly covers the townhouses and the smaller attached homes rather than the detached majority. On a townhouse at 694,450 dollars, that monthly figure keeps common costs predictable. Detached owners carry the property differently, with no strata line at all but a bigger footprint to maintain. Think about what 444 dollars per square foot means in practice: space costs money here, and the median list price of 1,424,000 dollars reflects a market built around larger family homes. Most stock dates from 2012 or later, so systems are newer and repairs come less often. That matters for your monthly math. A three-bedroom option at 709,000 dollars puts you in the lower tier, while six-bedroom homes at a median of 1,449,900 dollars sit closer to the neighbourhood average. Your carrying cost tracks the type you choose. Pick the size that fits your actual life.

5M band, because that is where most of Aberdeen trades. Pull those first. Look at the 12 homes priced between 500,000 and 750,000 dollars if your budget lands there, since that band holds the townhouses and the three-bedroom options near 709,000 dollars. Book showings across two types on the same day. Walk a detached house against a townhouse, and let the difference in square footage and the 256 dollar strata fee settle the question for you. Bring a lender number before you tour, so the 1,424,000 dollar median reads as yes or no rather than maybe. Then decide.
