Last month, Leaside properties sold at an average of ten days after listing. A Rumsey Road home sold three days after it was listed, while the longest remained on the market for 21 days.

Two of the five homes sold at or above their initial asking prices. The highest selling Leaside transaction of the month featured a detached 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home on a 30 x 125-foot lot with a private drive and garage on Bessborough Drive. It sold for $3,055,000 which was 99% of the asking price. This was followed by another detached home on the same street which sold for $2,450,000 which was 92% of the initial listing price.
Entry into the Leaside market now requires buyers to spend at least $1,400,000 for a semi-detached home and at least $2,500,000 for a detached home.
