705 HOWATT DR SW • Hays Ridge Area, Edmonton

Hays Ridge insight

The primary value driver here is execution quality: a large home on a ravine/park reserve edge only holds value perception when the fundamentals are clean — envelope, mechanical profile, and a documented finish standard that matches the setting. In this segment, clarity reduces risk and improves negotiation leverage.

Hays Ridge market snapshot

Typical price bands: Hays Ridge sits at the top end of Southwest Edmonton, with value shifting materially based on ravine adjacency, privacy, lot orientation, and the depth of finish and mechanical specification. Segment-matched comparisons matter most (ravine/green-space vs. interior lots).

Days on market: Premium homes often take longer unless the quality story is easy to verify. When documentation is clean and presentation is disciplined, the buyer pool becomes more decisive and conditions tend to stay straightforward.

What sells fastest: Homes that remove uncertainty — clear systems profile, clean moisture-management story, and a finish level that reads consistent throughout the home — typically attract the cleanest negotiations.

How to evaluate a ravine-side luxury home like this

• Ravine edge diligence: Confirm drainage patterns, grading, and long-term moisture management; review landscaping and downspout discharge.
• Mechanical depth: Forced air + in-floor heating, central A/C, and fireplace details; confirm service history and ventilation approach.
• Walkout basement: Verify finish standard, window/door performance, and how the lower level supports day-to-day living.
• Privacy & exposure: Check sightlines, rear-yard usability, and noise patterns at different times (especially for SW connectors).
• Inclusions & appliances: Confirm what stays (wine fridge, built-in oven, two stoves where applicable) and any warranties/service records.

Local lifestyle

Hays Ridge offers a quieter, green-edge lifestyle with access to ravine and park reserve corridors and convenient routes to Windermere amenities. School options depend on current catchments and programs — verify boundaries before relying on a specific designation. The setting is best understood in person: walk the trails, check light exposure, and confirm privacy from key outdoor areas.

For sellers in Hays Ridge
