3360 Rolston Crescent is a well-maintained 2,299 sq. ft. home in a central, connected location close to schools, trails, parks, shopping, recreation, and only about 10–15 minutes to downtown Victoria. The home offers excellent flexibility with a main floor living area and a lower-level suite-style setup. The total list price is $999,900.... The MLS flyer and financial mortgage calculations for both the upper and lower suite are attached below. Based on 2,299 finished sq. ft., that works out to approximately: $999,900 ÷ 2,299 sq. ft. = $435 per sq. ft. Using that same square-foot value, the home could be looked at this way for shared ownership purposes: Upper/Main Floor 1,283 sq. ft. x $435 = approx. $558,105 The main floor includes 3 bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom, a spacious living room with fireplace, dining area, kitchen, and access to a large patio and yard area. The floor plan shows the main level at 1,283 sq. ft. with 8-foot ceilings. Lower Level 1,016 sq. ft. x $435 = approx. $441,960 The lower level includes a suite-style setup with a kitchen/laundry area, family room, 2 bedrooms plus den/bedroom, a 3-piece bathroom, storage, cold storage, and garage space. The floor plan shows the lower level at 1,016 sq. ft., with the suite area noted as 752 sq. ft. This example assumes the downstairs occupant would also have use of the garage area, which is why the full lower-level square footage has been used for this calculation. Why This Could Be Interesting Instead of one buyer needing to purchase the entire home for nearly $1,000,000, two compatible parties could explore a shared ownership structure where each party owns a portion of the home based on the space they occupy. This type of arrangement could work for: - A first-time buyer who cannot quite afford a detached home alone - A parent and adult child wanting separate living spaces - Two friends or compatible buyers wanting to build equity - A buyer who wants privacy but also wants to reduce the cost of ownership - Someone looking for a flexible home with shared costs and separate spaces

I wanted to share a quick update regarding the City of Langford’s Attainable Home Ownership Program at Trailside beside Langford Lake. There are 3 condos available and they are 1 bedroom + a den for $389,900 + GST. If you are a 1st time buyer the Government is waiving the GST, The City has recently expanded the qualification criteria to help make the program accessible to more buyers. Some of the updates include: - Applicants are no longer required to live or work specifically in the Westshore - The down payment requirements have been relaxed (Langford will give the buyer 75% of the required downpayment as a gift) - The income qualification guidelines have also been broadened (Up to $156,000) I will be recieving more information shortly, but if you or someone you know is interested, contact me right away, as I expect the 3 remaining units will go quickly.

Join me today in my treasure hunt for "Affordable Housing Opportunities". At 1:00 PM I plan to be at 3112 Steele St to view the "Tree House" ...... a smaller very unique multi storied house with lots of private living spaces including a top deck "Tree House" area and a hot tub platform. This home has a bachelor suite, so after including the suite income, you would pay about $2366 per month with minimum down. At approximately 2:15 I will be at 3312 Kingsley St. This home has 2 suites so I'm going to guess that they will bring in at least $2500 per month and with minimum down payment, this home would cost the buyer about $$2500 per month to live there. If you can meet me at those times, great....if not the home at 3112 Steele St is Open from 12:00-4:00 and the home at 3312 Kingsley is open from 1:30-3:00, so feel free to stop in on your own. Just let the Agent know you are working with me, so they know you are being looked after. These are two wonderful opportunities to get into the Market, so I'm excited to show case them. I've included the listing, Floor Plan and a Finance Sheet showing how the financing works including Monthly payments and how you will pay down approximately $125,000 in principal on a $1,000,000 home in 5 years. Can you tell I get excited about this stuff. 😀
