On the list of drawbacks to my home, the shared wall is not top ten.

It's not a terrible drawback until you have a shit neighbor. Friends have a $700g duplex like yours, and their first neighbor was a loud music playing drug dealer. They were miserable for the first couple of years until he sold.

Concrete party wall is the answer. Alot of builders use the bare min for noise (which isn't much).

I have been insanely lucky. My neighbors are an adult couple without kids. Same people the whole time we've been here. I see then maybe 5 times a year, and hear them less.

Or do they only see you 5 times a year?

Agreed the only way I would build another attached home is with concrete party wall.
I found that most people that are going to pay $800+ do not want to share a wall and a roof.

They will if it is close enough to Downtown.

Check inner city listings and you will see $1MM+ conjoined twins.

as an example:

Questionable design choice of putting MDF window casing in a shower...

its a pretty big unit too but at the 1M mark and above detached would be ideal.

[ExtraSlow]

at every price point, detached is better, but there's a trade-offs. You don't get the same location and features with an $800k infill duplex vs an $800k detached home.

One would hope they were bright enough to use WR MDF.

haha, I know there are attached infills for over a mil.
I am just saying from my point of view we found that detached has a larger market at $800k+ in inner city NW.

If I knew for certain I had good neighbors and a solid party wall. I'd rather a duplex than a detached tbh. Be friendly with the neighbours so you can take turns snow shoveling so you only go out half the time in the cold. Less yard to maintain, save on heating costs, roof and siding replacements are cheaper, low key can split wifi and save money but doubtful people would do that.

I will never share a wall with another person again. Did the townhouse thing once, never again. Nope, nope, nope.

Even water resistant. Don't do it. Doesn't last and once that sucker gets a bit of moisture it swells bigger than an art room Dom.
