I think they overshot it by a lot, but I guess if you list for 1.9m, it will make people think the 1.3 or 1.4 it goes for in the end is a bargain.

I also have no idea why they bothered with the roof deck. The house has pretty good outdoor space with a deck and a huge parking pad that could easily be partially used for planters/seating/entertaining. That roof deck is never going to get used because it's hard to get to and is going to be annoying to outfit -- it desperately needs some kind of shade, for instance. And if they don't get that wood sealed soon, it's going to warp and look bad pretty quick. Plus it's two floors up from the kitchen, and one floor up from the bathrooms, and the stairs up are going to be awkward for kids and older people in a house that is obviously targeted at families otherwise. To me it was a waste of money to pop up through the roof and install it unless you have a house with no other functional outdoor space and/or a small footprint that that will makes some nice outdoor space particularly desirable.

Same with the basement. I think they went overboard and could have dialed it back quite a bit, saved a ton of money on the reno, and left a more flexible space for future owners.

But that's just me. Watch them get asking within the month and I eat crow.[/quote]
