I'm advising folks to keep a close eye on Clay, Cicero, North Syracuse, the neighborhoods including and surrounding Eastwood, and the neighborhoods by the university.

Plus, because of the growth of the area and the elevation (you just don't get the cool weather once you drive down the hill to Brevard or other areas), SO MUCH money has eyes on it. 

I used to provide detailed answers to DMs, which are private and help only the requester.

I’ve come across details regarding the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act, and it seems there are exceptions for buyers with a valid work permit or for properties outside Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) or Census Agglomerations (CA).Do you know if certain types of work permits are more favorable for this purpose?

The key is a great contractor and a clear, detailed, well-thought-out scope of work. 

Here are some indicators to help you assess a buyer's seriousness:Questions: Serious buyers will ask detailed questions about the property, such as maintenance costs, neighborhood amenities, and property taxesStrong Offer: If a buyer makes a strong offer quickly, it often indicates a high level of interest and intent to purchasePrivate Buyers: If approached by a private buyer, ensure they provide a Letter of Intent (LOI) and proof of funds.  

I was never even informed of this expense, I just keep a close eye on the ledger which is how I saw the expense.

Thank you @Samuel Coronado for all the great detailed info! 

Keep an eye on this.Wow, this is a big change.
