    • Cost/SqFt: โฌ†๏ธ ($15 higher per sq ft)

    • Condition: โš–๏ธ (Similar/Well-maintained)

    This property on Kearney Avenue is very similar in style to the home for sale but sits on a slightly smaller footprint. While it features nice refinished hardwoods, the kitchen and bathroom finishes in 117 Ward Avenue appear more modern and refreshed. Given that 117 Ward Avenue provides more living space for nearly the same total price, it stands out as a strong contender.

    ๐ŸŸข 117 Ward Avenue offers more square footage and more modern updates for a very similar price point.

  • A one-story brick house at 206 1st Street, Oxford, features white siding, red shutters, and a front porch with red railings. Steps lead up to the porch with potted plants, lawn ornaments, and grass in the yard. Trees stand in the background.

    • Cost/SqFt: โฌ‡๏ธ ($12 lower per sq ft)

    • Condition: โฌ‡๏ธ (Basic/Older finishes)

    The home on 1st Street sold for quite a bit less, but it is significantly smaller and sits on a much smaller lot than 117 Ward Avenue. Visually, the exterior and interior of the 1st Street property appear more basic and haven’t seen the same level of recent refreshing as the home for sale. The extra yard space and interior updates at 117 Ward Avenue justify the higher price tag.

    ๐ŸŸก While the 1st Street home was a lower-cost entry point, 117 Ward Avenue provides a better overall package with more land and a nicer interior.

  • The brick house at 201 Providence Road, Oxford, with white-trimmed windows and a covered carport, is surrounded by bare trees on a snowy day. Steps lead to the front entrance, and patches of snow cover the driveway and ground.

    • Condition: โฌ‡๏ธ (Needs significant updates)

    This home on Providence Road sold for a lower price, but it clearly needs a lot of work compared to the home for sale. While it offers more space and an extra bathroom, the interior features dated wood paneling and older flooring that would require a significant budget for renovations. 117 Ward Avenue is a much more turn-key option for someone who doesn’t want a project.

    ๐ŸŸก If you are looking for a project, the Providence Road home was a deal, but 117 Ward Avenue offers better value for those wanting move-in-ready comfort.
