Built in 2002 this home has been well cared for by the same owner for the past 20+ years. The home features 1837 heated and cooled square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a 2-car garage. The home is wheelchair friendly with easy access throughout the home to include both showers.

You have the option to have both a breakfast nook and a dining table if you wish or use the dining room as an additional seating area.

The ensuite bathroom is sizeable and includes a stand-up shower that offers easy access for a wheelchair if needed.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
