What kind of homes are in Main?

There is no single housing type in Main. The active listings run detached houses at 46%, half duplexes at 30% and condos at 22%, which means two buyers with the same budget can end up shopping for very different homes on the same streets.

Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 2019, with most of the market falling between 1919 and 2026, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

48% of the current listings were built in the last five years, so new-construction inventory is a real option here rather than an exception.

What do you actually get for the money?

48% of the homes for sale have four or more bedrooms, though smaller 3-bedroom homes still turn up regularly. Family-sized space is the norm here rather than the premium option.

A typical listing here offers about 1,760 sq ft of living space and 3 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 3,759 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

Enclosed parking is standard: 61% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

52% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Main rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 12 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $428 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Main

There is no rapid-transit station in Main, but 50% of the listings are within reach of a frequent bus route.

Across 41 scored listings the median walk score is 67 out of 100, computed from real walking routes. Day-to-day errands here usually involve a drive or a bus.

Cycling scores better than walking in a lot of the city, and it does here too: the median bike score across scored listings is 87.
