The fate

The buyer is an engineer in his 40s who just sold his Leslieville home.

The sale

There were three bidders, including a couple hoping to move closer to their downtown offices and a young woman who came in with a competitive offer but fell short. The buyer’s offer of $9,000 over asking was especially appealing because it was unconditional.
