A married couple bought this place from a builder 12 years ago and have raised two kids here. They’re now moving on to a bigger home.
The buyers are another young family moving up from a semi-detached.
The sellers had already bought a new place, so they had no option but to sell. After a slow summer housing market, they decided to price the property low and hope for a bidding war. The strategy worked. They held off offers for a week and ended up with five of them. They pocketed more than $300,000 over asking.
