What to know before you buy

• Newer vs. established areas. Didsbury has both older character homes and newer subdivisions. Compare age, upkeep and lot size, not just price.
• Acreages nearby. Rural properties around Didsbury need the usual checks: water well, septic, road access and land use with Mountain View County.
• Commute. Test the drive to work at the time you'd actually travel, especially in winter.
• Resale. Location within town, lot size and garage space all affect how easily a home sells later.
