The action
This 41-year-old bungalow was smaller and more dated than most of its neighbours in the north end of King City, about 50 kilometres north of downtown Toronto. However, the land beneath it, roughly half an acre in size, was an enormous attraction for buyers seeking a renovation or redevelopment project.
“There wasn’t a ton of inventory, and most of the properties the market would consider a building lot weren’t bungalows,” agent Joel Carcone said.
“These houses are being bought up by people to build because you can’t really get lots of this size otherwise. In new subdivisions, they don’t go this big any more.”
One buyer, tipped off by the prominent Coming Soon signage, arranged a preview tour to get ahead of any potential competition. Their initial offer, starting below the $2.4-million list price, morphed within three days into a $2.26-million deal the owners accepted.
“We’d seen properties sell in different timelines depending on the price,” Mr. Carcone said.
“The sellers were decisive about selling it and making a move. It wasn’t a matter of testing the waters; it was a matter of getting it sold.”

The agent’s take
“You’re on city water and sewer [services], and that’s a real plus,” Mr. Carcone said.
“If you go further away from the core of King, you end up more on septic and well [systems].”
