Lower entry price is exactly why Pleasant Hill draws a lot of first-time buyer interest, but older housing stock also means mechanical systems, roofing and windows are more likely to be due for replacement, and that should factor into what a buyer offers as much as the list price does.
A home inspection, typically $400 to $600, is especially worth the cost in a neighbourhood this age, since it prices the risk of near-term repairs before closing rather than after a buyer already owns the house.
The list price and the true cost of ownership are two different numbers in an older neighbourhood like this one. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
