In this episode, we break down one of real estate's most timeless rules and explain why the ugliest house or cottage in the very best location is often the smartest money you'll ever spend. 📍 If you've ever wondered how the pros actually think about value, pricing, and PEI property, this is one conversation you won't want to miss. 💰 We open with a message every young buyer needs to hear: if you're young and you have the money to buy a house, do not let your friends talk you out of it. The people telling you to wait are rarely the ones who'll be covering your rent down the road. Buying early, while you have the means, is one of the most powerful financial moves you can make — and we explain why getting in sooner beats sitting on the sidelines. 🏡 From there, we get into a real estate basic that too many people get backwards: buy the worst house on the block, not the best. It all comes down to location, location, location. The worst house in a great neighbourhood has room to climb in value, while the best house on a weak street has nowhere to go. That's exactly why we're always on the hunt for the roughest house or cottage sitting in the strongest possible location — because you can fix a house, but you can never fix where it sits. 💵 Next, we dig into a pricing situation that raises eyebrows: a property asking $162K where the listing agent openly admits they'll take $155K. We use it to talk about something every seller should know — the real job of a listing agent. When you take a listing, your job is to get the vendor the most amount of money, not to negotiate the asking price down. You're being paid a commission to represent the seller's side and protect their price, not to do the buyer's job for…","meta_description":"🏠 Should you buy the WORST house on the block — or hold out for the best?
