    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($76 lower)

    • Condition: ⬇️ (Visible wear/dated)

    This sold listing on 1st Street offers more square footage and an extra bedroom for a lower price, but it feels much more dated than 208 Person Street. The exterior and interior of the home for sale have been refreshed to feel bright and modern, which justifies a higher price per square foot. The trade-off here is between the extra space of the sold home and the turn-key condition and oversized lot of the home for sale.

    🟡 208 Person Street is positioned well for buyers who prioritize style and immediate livability over raw square footage.

  • A small white house with a slanted roof and front porch sits at 208 Windimere Avenue. Two chairs are positioned on the porch, inviting relaxation. The surrounding area in Oxford boasts green grass and trees under a clear blue sky.

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($103 lower)

    • Condition: ⬇️ (Dated interior)

    This sold listing on Windimere Avenue is a similar size to the home for sale but sold for significantly less because it lacks the modern updates found at 208 Person Street. While it offers a small footprint, the interior features popcorn ceilings and a more basic kitchen compared to the stainless appliances and fresh finishes in the home for sale. You can see the difference in the kitchen cabinetry and the overall brightness of the rooms when comparing the two.

    🟡 208 Person Street is a better choice for someone wanting a move-in ready home without the need for immediate renovations.

  • A white, single-story wooden house with a front porch and ramp sits on a grassy lawn at 312 W Front Street, Oxford, surrounded by green trees and bushes under a blue sky.

    This property on W Front Street is a classic investor project and represents the ‘before’ version of what a 1901 cottage can look like. It sold at a massive discount because it requires a complete overhaul, whereas 208 Person Street has already been polished with new flooring, a modern kitchen, and fresh paint. Additionally, the home for sale sits on a much larger corner lot, providing significantly more outdoor privacy than this property.

    🟡 If you aren’t looking for a major construction project, 208 Person Street is the clear winner for a turn-key lifestyle.
