This is a nice south end home with 4 bedrooms, a court location, double garage and it backs onto the park. I would say that checks a lot of boxes for a lot of families. It is also listed for $709,000 and they aren’t holding offers, which means there MAY be some room to negotiate! With townhomes selling in $500-$600K+ range, this well priced home won’t last.

there are always options
There is a nice little list today to view but I want to focus on 14 Kensington because I feel this could make a great home for a retiree or first time buyer. The lot and area are awesome, along with the updates they have done. As a first time buyer, it's very tough these days to get into the market so the importance of income potential is critical. If I were buying my first home I would have the basement registered as an apartment, rent it out for many years and possibly keep this as my long term home because of the 1 floor living into my Golden Years. As a first time buyer you're building equity and eventually have the option to either take over the whole house or rent the home out and buy another place, building a real estate portfolio. If you decide to rent the whole place and buy another home to live in your down payment commitment is smaller because you're buying your primary residence.
As a retiree our real estate prices are so high to downsize, move to something decent and have a bunch of money left over to live it up!! It has almost become a lateral move these days in Guelph so the days of cashing out are no longer common. If you're open to renting out the basement as a retiree, you're having someone else help fund your retirement while you're golfing in Florida and why not have one of your kids deal with the tenant.

Favourite Daily Listing - 8 Christopher Crt
It's no surprise that after yesterday's storm, today is a slow one in real estate. Since a lot of people were forced to stay indoors and spend many hours together, you may see some smaller homes hitting the market from those feeling the squeeze!!
Today's list includes a great opportunity for anyone looking for a condo. 8 Christopher Crt is over 1200 sqft and with a little updating, could be a fantastic place to call home. It has a central location, parking and is in a quiet building. Definitely one to consider. Listed by Royal LePage Royal City Realty
Favourite Daily Listing - 130 Oxford St
Our pick of the day is a massive project, but 130 Oxford St could one day be your dream home. This home is going to need either a bulldozer or a ton of work, but with an 88 x 108 lot, the opportunity to sever is huge! Definitely a hot area and a great opportunity, so it's no wonder that they are holding offers on it. Definitely one to consider. Listed by Trilliumwest.
Favourite Daily Listing - 20 Callander Dr
Our pick of the day is a 3 bedroom sidesplit that has a lot of potential, is on a nice street and is well priced. It could use some updating - is that really carpet on the wall? I'm not sure when that became feature wall worthy, but an easy fix, nonetheless. They are holding offers, so this may fetch a higher price, but the street can support higher value. Definitely one to consider. Listed by ReMax Real Estate Centre.
12 Barber Ave is a Gem
Our favourite listing today is without a doubt, 12 Barber Ave. This is an incredible street with a heritage home in one of the most desirable areas in our city, so prepare yourself to compete. Barber Ave rarely sees a For Sale sign and for good reason they’re all forever homes. This home is listed with Royal Lepage.

First time buyers....Attention Please!
It Has A "She Shed"!!
Have you heard of "She Sheds" ? If not you're about to! Listed with Coldwell Banker 89 Morris St in Guelph is a detached 2+1 bedroom bungalow that has been completely renovated top to bottom, from the photos it looks like every corner of this home has been beautifully updated, Including the backyard which has a (drumroll please) SHE SHED!!! I didn't actually think these were going to take off and up until this home we haven't seen a home with one BUT this is awesome. "She Sheds" are basically the female equivalent to the "man cave". These upscale and classy sheds are every moms dream! Lock yourself away, outside of the house for 5 min in silence where you can gather your thoughts, hide your treats and enjoy the occasional glass of wine or bottle with NO interruptions almost sounds too good to be true.
Would you ever want a "She Shed"?
