End March 2019 Picks by Roomvu
Every 2 weeks, our staff puts together a list of properties worthy of taking a peek at. Why? Because these properties are listed below their government assessment value, under 1 million dollars, and fresh in the market. Scroll down for our top picks.

- Size
- Layout
- Shape
- Age
- Finish quality
- Number of garages
- The condition of the building
- Services in the area, location, views
- Neighbourhood
- Recent sales of properties with similar characteristics
