Last month, Leaside properties sold at an average of 28 days after listing. We sold a home on Donlea Drive two days after it was listed. The other home sold last month remained on the market for 54 days. This doesn’t include the 10 homes that have been listed for more than 30 days or the six homes that were listed in the month of April and have yet to sell at their current prices.
Only one of the two homes sold at or above their initial asking prices. It is a beautiful semi-detached 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on a 26.56 x 135-foot lot, with a private drive and garage on Donlea Drive. We sold it for 100% of the initial asking price. The other home on Moorehill Drive sold for $2,810,000 which was 97% of the initial listing price.
Entry into the Leaside market now requires buyers to spend at least $1,400,000 for either semi-detached or detached homes.
