Out of Town homes for sale

What kind of homes are in Out of Town?

Out of Town is a detached-house neighbourhood. 68% of the homes on the market are single-family houses on their own lot, so the supply is set by how many owners decide to sell in a given season.

The next largest group is other homes, at 32% of what is listed.

Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 2004, with most of the market falling between 1953 and 2018, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

What do you actually get for the money?

The 3-bedroom plan is the most common listing, with smaller and larger homes on either side of it.

A typical listing here offers about 2,311 sq ft of living space and 3 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 77,972 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

Strata or freehold?

Only 20% of the listings in Out of Town are strata-titled. Most buyers here are purchasing freehold, with no monthly fee and no strata council to answer to.

Across the 5 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $310 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Out of Town

Transit coverage is thin here. Most listings in Out of Town are not close to rapid transit or a frequent bus route, so plan on driving.

Across 12 scored listings the median walk score is 23 out of 100, computed from real walking routes. Day-to-day errands here usually involve a drive or a bus.

Setting and surroundings

26% of the current listings are waterfront, which is rare enough anywhere in the region to shape pricing on the streets around them.

A view is claimed on 77% of the listings. Views are priced aggressively and are the first thing a new tower can take away, so it is worth checking what protects one before you pay for it.
