Thirteen homes sold at or above their initial asking prices. Last month’s most valuable Leaside sale involved a detached 4-bedroom, 6-bathroom home on a 60’ x 131.57’ lot with a private drive and garage on Douglas Crescent. It sold for $4,390,000, or 100% of the original listing price. It was followed by a home on Divadale Drive, which sold for $2,999,000 or 100% of the asking price.
Entry into the Leaside market now requires buyers to spend $1,000,000 for a semi-detached and at least $1,300,000 for a detached home. Buyers continue to look for homes in midtown while low inventory endures as the main driver of competitive bidding.
