this house is not worth three quarters of a million. are people insane?
WHY WAS THIS HOUSE CHOSEN TO BE IN THIS (HOUSE OF THE WEE), EH !
NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT HEAD WOULD PAY THAT MUCH FOR THIS SEM-DETACHED HOUSE AT ALL ! NOW COME ON – GUYS ! HAVE A BAD DAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, EH ?
It’s the Location, Location, Location
The house is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, this is Toronto were talking about here “The Next New York City”. Get with the times or move to Barrie. Toronto real estate is cheap compared to where it is going to be in 10 years.
