Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 1994, with most of the market falling between 1955 and 2001, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

What do you actually get for the money?

70% 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 2,229 sq ft of living space and 3 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 6,950 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

70% of the listings report a finished basement, which in this city usually means either extra family space or a mortgage helper.

Enclosed parking is standard: 70% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

40% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in The Crest rather than settled by the neighbourhood.
