The most valuable Davisville Village transaction of the month featured a detached 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home on a 25’ x 142’ lot with a private drive and garage on Hillsdale Avenue East. It sold for $2,775,000 or 97% of the asking price. It was followed by a home on the same street which sold for $1,650,000 or 97% of the owner’s initial ask.

Entry into the Davisville Village market now requires buyers to spend $1,000,000 for a semi-detached home and at least $1,200,000 for a detached home. Buyers continue to look for homes in midtown while low inventory endures as the main driver of competitive bidding.
