The typical detached sale price in Cochrane's latest market report is $648,175. The detached benchmark price is $657,600. The number of detached homes sold in the latest market report is 37. These completed-sale and benchmark measurements do not establish the price a particular seller will accept.

I would decide your financial boundary before negotiation makes a higher offer feel like the only next step. An asking price and a townwide reference both need a comparison focused on the home you want. Walking away remains a practical option when the required commitment no longer fits your finances or unresolved condition questions.
