Before you buy a detached home
- Get pre-approved before you shop. In a market where the right detached house can draw several offers, knowing your ceiling lets you move the same day.
- Ask for the survey and check the lot lines, especially on older homes with additions, sheds or shared driveways.
- Budget for the big-ticket items a condo board would otherwise cover: roof, furnace, windows and the driveway are all yours on a detached house.
- Price against detached homes of the same style on nearby streets. A 2-storey and a bungalow on the same block sell to different buyers at different prices.
