Comparing Fort McMurray house prices to St. John’s

April 22, 2008 · Filed Under St. John's Real Estate 

I was delving deeper into my Filogix MLS Real Estate system to investigate some features I’ve yet to explore. I discovered we have access to “inter real estate boards” listings and stats. The first on the drop down tab was Fort McMurray homes for sale, so I decided to check it out.

Floored at some of the prices and similar style houses compared to St. John’s houses, I found a listing from Remax Fort McMurray that just shocked me.

A mobile home noted as “Amazing starter home at an amazing price”. Amazing price alright….this property was listed for $354,900. Sold and closed in less then one month. The description continued…”quick possession. You’d better act fast – this one won’t last long!” He wasn’t kidding!! It sold and closed (transfered owner) in less then a month.

Average price for a similar mobile home in St. John’s

is about $90,000. Coincidentally, I would call this an “amazing starter home at an amazing price” at a price $260,000 less then in Fort McMurray.

So tell me….which of the two property photos shown is for sale in Fort McMurray and which property is for sale in St. John’s?
