Sold: a cute townhouse two blocks from Trinity Bellwoods Park for $530,000
With all the talk of condo bubbles, over-the-top bidding wars and failed flips, wading into Toronto’s housing market requires equal parts bravery and real estate savvy.

Here, all the details from the latest sale.

• The agents: David Young and Kate Leigh Young, Sutton West Realty Inc., Brokerage
• Listed price: $529,900
• Sale price: $530,000

I’ve seen in a few online posts (including http://themashcanada.blogspot.ca/2013/04/price-drop-17-rebecca-street-trinity.html#!/2013/04/price-drop-17-rebecca-street-trinity.html) that this house has a termite issue. Not to mention the cosntruction around it, looks like it will be surrounded by condos on all sides. Plus rumours of no central heating. An issue-free house would have sold for much more.
