Price context
This listing: USD108/m² — 95% below the median of USD1,975/m² across our 17 listings in this area.
Reading a price below the area level: a lower per-m² price can be genuine value — larger units price lower per m², and motivated sellers exist — but check the usual reasons first: renovation needs, noise exposure (roads, rail, flight paths), unfavourable floor or orientation, leasehold/servitudes, and pending building-fund obligations in condominiums.
No map data found nearby for: public transport, water proximity, schools, daily amenities, parks & recreation — worth asking the agent about these.
Positioning within our own current listings in the same area — asking prices per m², not an appraisal or market valuation. Size mix, condition, and plot differ between properties.
