How do I check if a home's list price is fair?

Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.

What should I check on the property's condition before offering?

Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.

How do I verify zoning on a home I want to buy?

Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).

How do I confirm a basement suite is legal?

If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.

How do I calculate the true monthly carrying cost of a home?

Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.

How do I confirm property taxes on a home?

Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.

How do I get a home insurance estimate before buying?

Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.

How do I check the real commute from a home?

Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.

What deposit and financing conditions should I negotiate?

Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.

What home inspections should I budget for?

Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
