The action
This 110-year-old property at the end of a row of freehold townhouses near Glen Stewart Ravine had numerous renovations, most recently to one of its two bathrooms. Other rooms were repainted and refurnished in preparation for sale. This makeover, and price under $1.1-million, was an enticing mix to nearly 40 visitors in November.
“We made sure it showed incredibly well and created that warmth for the season,” agent Shane Little said.
“We used the price as a way to get people in through the door and take action.”
Mr. Little believes this strategy helped in getting seven offers, including one that pushed $267,000 past the asking price.
“There was one [property] directly across the street that was listed about two to three weeks before we came on the market, and they didn’t sell,” Mr. Little said.
“That’s part of the reason we wanted to dial into the prep, pricing and marketing.”

The agent’s take
“It’s just south of Kingston Road Village with tons of restaurants and the YMCA there,” Mr. Little said.
“It’s a phenomenal, family neighbourhood in the Balmy Beach school district, which is amazing. If you walk down the hill, at the bottom of the street, it connects to the boardwalk.”
