Timberlea contains several different housing segments, so values can vary considerably between condominiums, townhouses, manufactured homes and detached properties. Age, size, upgrades, lot size and location within the neighbourhood can all affect value.
A current comparable-market analysis is important when determining either an asking price or an offer.
"Timberlea has one of the widest selections of inventory in Fort McMurray. That gives buyers more options to compare, but it also means you need to compare the right properties. Recent sales within the same property type and immediate area are often more useful than relying on a broad Timberlea-wide average."
