What Could Work Against You
- With just 1 sales in the trailing year, pricing signals are indicative rather than definitive; expect wider bid-ask spreads when you negotiate.
- The 60-unit size cuts both ways: exclusivity, but thinner resale liquidity and higher per-unit maintenance contributions than larger estates.
- At 34+ years of age, upkeep costs trend upward and renovation budgets matter; some owners here are effectively holding an en-bloc option.
