Because Briarwood is not a single-era neighbourhood, comparable sales matter more than a citywide average. Two homes a few streets apart can differ meaningfully in age, lot size and condition, so the right price depends on the closest matches, not the $444,700 citywide figure alone.
A home inspection at $400 to $600 is especially useful in a mixed-age neighbourhood like this, since it tells you which decade's mechanical systems you are actually inheriting rather than assuming from the exterior.
