A Rare Find

Some homes just feel like home.
And this one? You can tell it’s been lived in, loved in, and laughed in for over 40 years.
TLDR: Clients sold their home privately for less than half of what it was worth. Don’t let this For Sale By Owner blind spot happen to you.
Not every upgrade pays you back.
Let’s talk about it.
Real estate isn’t JUST an investment. It’s a liability, too.
We’ve built this one before, and it might just be the most beautiful split entry layout and design finish we’ve seen! Disclaimer; this home has yet to be built but contrary to viewing a floor plan and hoping it works? You can by-pass the planning and view the model home here, and visualize it on your new lot! With approximately 2400 sqft total, this functional split-entry style home is the perfect option for young professional families. Any discerning buyer will be happy to know that both levels of this new build will be finished by closing day.

Hi, I’m 21 Leicester! People often don’t know how to pronounce my full name, but a nickname suits me just fine. You can call me Les! My family and I’ve been through a lot in our 50 years together. We’ve grown with a beautiful addition for one-level living, and I’ve watched my garden grow too from seedlings to the lush & colourful blossoms you see today. But the memories are what I’ll cherish most. From babies to backyard weddings, the best childhoods filled with running through the neighbourhood pathways…I even remember the day passers-by came to admire my new cedar shingled exterior. It continues to make me stand out after all these years.

It’s not often a home comes on the market that’s been owned by the same family for over 50 years. The place of countless memories, a home that’s evolved over time to suit the family’s changing needs. And while no two homes are quite the same, these homes are often the most unique as they’ve been loved & customized by the owner over the years. A mobile home at heart, yet hardly recognizable today sitting on its own full concrete foundation w/several additions including a 2-storey workshop & storage garage & primary bedroom addition.
Once you’ve owed a home, you haven’t just gained equity.
You’ve gained knowledge & experience. The things you didn’t know then?
You know now.
I famously tell my clients that they tend to want what every one of my clients wants.
Great location. Some character (aka not a cookie cutter…even the newer home seekers tend to want something interesting in the design or finishes!) Proximity to great schools. A workable & realistic budget.
People move for an endless number of reasons.
But overall, these are the things my experienced buyers tell me they want in their next home, that they either didn’t have previously OR….that they did have (& now can’t live without):
Once in a while a home comes on the market that reminds us of less complicated days. Built to stand the test of time & timeless in its design & finishes. And that feels like the comfort of a warm tea next to a crackling fire. 345 Oxford Street has been home to only two owners in its lifetime, a testament to the unique combination of layout, location & lifestyle it offers. Brick exterior, perched high overlooking gorgeous mature trees & backing onto a city protected green belt.
They don’t make ‘em like this anymore! A home loved by its original family for 35 years and located in one of Fredericton’s most desirable areas, this oversized 4 level split is on the market for the very first time. With over 3800sqft of finished space, the possibilities are endless. You’ll immediately see how grand this home is as soon as you walk in the front doors.
I pulled up to this home, perched up on the hill with its stately curb appeal & triple car drive, and audibly said “wow”. It had been 5 years since I’d seen it and I’d forgotten how beautiful it was, with its wooden front siding & covered front porch…and how HUGE it was, spanning nearly 70 feet (without even counting the oversized 2-car detached garage). What I couldn’t see was the incredible efficiency upgrades added since, from the blown-in attic insulation in both home & garage, the catalytic woodstove for 2nd heat source, new doors, air exchanger, custom sun blinds & more!
Some homes are so loved they don’t change hands for 30 years. Some homes are the main character to a lifetime of memories. And some homes are hardest to leave because every corner is someone’s favourite. 122 Graham Street has been that place, tucked away in peaceful Islandview at the back of the subdivision on a quiet low traffic street. A layout that was ahead of its time with gorgeous living room, huge windows and formal dining room…and the hub of the home in the open concept great room facing the expansive backyard.

If you’re like many buyers who has felt fatigued, frustrated, disillusioned by the Spring 2022 market. You’ve had an offer “love letter” on rotation and just keep inserting a new address. You need financing, as most do, but somehow keep getting beat out by a cash buyer.
You’ve been opting out lately just to give your mind and body a break from the emotional ride. Your addiction to Realtor.ca has become a lot less fun lately, and you’ve shut it down.
Sound like you?
When the market’s doing unexpected things, it can feel like you’re a pawn in a game of chess.
I don’t care what side of the offer table you’re on. There’s not a person on earth who is happy feeling like a pawn. And Real Estate isn’t a game.
Buying and selling Real Estate is about as human an experience as there is. It’s raw. It’s ugly. It’s elating and it’s (maybe the hardest one) disappointing. It’s trying not to get too excited about something for fear of not having your expectations met.
