The history

This home was already renovated when the sellers, a family of four, bought it in 2008. The only major change they made was waterproofing the basement.

The sale

The agency advertised the home on the “Coming Soon” section of its website for a few days before listing it, so that potential buyers would be ready to schedule viewings when it came on the market.

The fate

After several showings, there was a bully offer for $331,000 above the asking price. The sellers accepted. The house had been on the market for only two days.

By the numbers

• $1,680,000 • $6,377.51 in taxes (2016) • 2,282 square feet • 5 bathrooms • 4 bedrooms • 3 storeys • 2 days on MLS • 2 fireplaces
