This week we have one new property and we have revisited two properties from last week. I would like to stress that especially for purchasers who are getting into the market for the first time this is the the time to buy. Interest rates are low and there are lots listings on the market to choose from. On that note we have two condos and one home have a look at the details and be sure to contact me if you would like more information or to book a showing for one of the properties.
Green St: 3 bed 1 bath
What makes this property special?
Great First time home, nicely appointed and located close to parks and shopping in a good area . Great separate studio that could possibly be rentable.
