I won't use the word "lie", but yes, most of the information on MLS could be inaccurate! Something like sq ft, strata fee, and sometimes even pictures are not 100% correct! But regarding for the strata fee, usually it won't be a big difference (say 5+/-%) geh.
well, will it help if our places are very different from what you are interested in?
Like how old is the building, what kind of facilities, how many units share the amenities, how big is the unit and even if it's townhouse, is that part of a larger condo building or a townhouse only complex....etc
Like FiChai said, what do u want to know about the strat fees?
Range is huge, I've a friend who need to pay $400+ (old building, lots to fix and bigger unit) and some pay only $150.
MLS is like eBay, they don't care what you post. If the info is inaccurate, that's the poster's fau ...

Well, theoretically the listed information should be true. However practically, for example, the very first guy (the developer) posted the sq ft as 1000, thus everybody thereafter will simply trust and post the same. Who will hire an inspector and redo the measurement each time before posting? But the fact is the developer did a wrong measurement and actually it should be only 998 sq ft. Even the buyer found it out, who's gonna sue you (no matter you're the seller or the seller's agent)?
Regarding for the strata fee, for example at the time of listing is correct, but then they just have a raise a month later and the listing is still active. Now the chances are, maybe the owner (seller) doesn't know he/she has to inform the agent to change the information on MLS, or the seller forgot to do so, or the seller did inform his/her agent but it's the agent being too lazy or forgot to change it! Again, who's gonna sue you for example $5 bucks strata fee difference? LOL
