The range in my immediate area is $550k-$850k for a 30 year old detached brick house ranging for 2500-3200 sq.ft. We selected this ares because of proximity to YYZ (20 minutes) Go Train (8 minutes) and QEW, 407, 401, and 403 (5 minutes) I wan walk to an up a central up town, 2 LCBO's, Beer Stores, Keg, pubs, shopping, etc. Our MLS walking score is 80. I am 100' from a park and accesses to tails. I will gladly dive and extra 20-30 minutes to have this.
That's actually not that bad. You'd be $600K ish in my area for that. A 1971 2200' house up the street from me, not brick, but decent recent upgrading inside sold for exactly $600K. We do have parks surrounding the cul-de-sac and good commuter transit access, okay shopping within a 15min walk and schools right here. (part of the park system we back onto are the school yards)
I liked the location for the proximity to schools (ironic that my daughter rides the transit into the inner city of Edmonton now to go to school, but for elementary it was awesome, a 60sec walk) and the trail/park system access. I literally run for hours on the trails with one, maybe two, street crossings.
I thought anything in Oakville would be 2x our area.
BTW, can my daughter live with you for cheap if she goes to Sheridan?

(Isn't your son born in 99? He'd probably be thrilled. She's tall, lean, etc..., but her Dad is pretty violent...)
