Quad level houses

Are they hard to sell back? Pros and cons? We found a 5 bd 3 ba for just 120k. So wondering why the price is so low.

Re: Quad level houses

  • Have you looked at comps in the area?

    We put our quad up for sale last year, and got an offer, but it appraised for less then we wanted to give it away for.  We are renting it out now.

    I don't think that it being a quad lowers the price, unless comparable houses in the area are just as low.

     

  • I can't necessarily speak to the selling of a quad level house, but we did buy one. They are very very common in our area in our price range. When we were house-hunting we toured a few of them, but decided we wanted to avoid that layout because it felt choppy, somewhat dated, and (in a lot of cases) very dark in the lower levels.

    We ended up looking at our current house solely because of the neighborhood, but really liked the layout of this particular quad level house because it had a ton of windows and natural light on every level. The price of our house (and other quad levels in the area) was on par with non-quad houses.

    A lot of the real estate websites will let you search by layout (quad level/four level, 2-story, ranch, etc.), so you might want to try that function and see what prices other quad levels are going for in your area.  


  • We had a four story town home and while it was almost as large sq footage-wise as the two story house we have now, it felt much smaller because all of the rooms we narrow and smaller. All of the steps became a nightmare and I can't imagine dealing with them with little kids.  If you have or plan on having kids I would avoid one for sure.

    And by the time the kids are old enough to be safe, you won't feel like doing the stairs.

    DH and I looked at one. It's a gorgeous and unique 200+ year old home overlooking a golf course on a street full of beautiful homes. It's a single but it more like a Federal era townhouse like in Boston or Philadelphia's Society Hill.

    The layout was wonky- FR/laundry in the daylight basement, Kit/DR/PwdRM on the first floor, LR/MBR/Bath on the second and 2 BR on the 4th.

    This house turns over about every 5 years.
