Spending a Brock budget well
Weigh village convenience against country space. A house on municipal services in Beaverton or Cannington means no well or septic to maintain and a short drive to a grocery store, a pharmacy and a medical clinic, at the cost of a smaller lot. A rural bungalow on an acre or two gives you privacy and room for a shop or a garden but adds a well, a septic system, a longer commute and a driveway to keep clear. Some lenders ask for a water test and a septic inspection before funding a rural purchase, so get a pre-approval that accounts for that. A home needing a new kitchen or roof can be the best purchase in this range if you have the appetite for the work. The Miller team can pull recent sales in each category so you know where the true ceiling sits before you write an offer.
