    I know someone who recently listed their very original 1930's home at 1.05M, immediately after their neighbour's home went up for sale, to highlight the desirability of theirs. The neighbours house was very similar, but with at least $200,000 worth of renovations and was listed at $850,000...

    RE, the painter who lives across the road and paints a lot of houses in our suburb (mainly 100 year old homes) says we have the highest ceilings that he's seen around here. I agree that extra height makes a huge difference :(.
