Calumet Ct. and Pathway Dr.

Looking for a home under $200,000. Here are two choices:

105 Calumet Court- $234,900, 1523 sq/ft ($154 sq/ft), 3bed/2 bath.
2000 Pathway Drive- $236,000, 1874 sq/ft ($125 sq/ft), 3bed/2.5 bath.

So how do these compare? Calumet Court was built in 1977 and Pathway Drive was built in 1990. From the pictures you can see each house reflects these dates.

So why isn't Pathway Drive the obvious choice? Calumet Court is on a much bigger lot, where as Pathway Dr. sits on .17 acre. Also, Webbwood is a lot closer of a walk to Weaver St. Market vs. Pathway Dr. (Also note, Pathway is a short walk to McDougle Elementary and Middle school.) There are no HOA dues for Calumet Court and the home is full of skylights.

There is no better home. As I tell my clients, the goal here is not to sell you a home, but to find the home which best fits your needs. If this your price range, the real value is in which home is the best match for your family.
