The action

Property sales in the Eglinton Park area were inconsistent in the new year, offering little indication of how quickly buyers would gravitate to this semi-detached house, especially with record snowfalls keeping many people indoors. The sellers’ dogged effort to shovel enough snow to clear access to the property was rewarded with roughly 20 weekday visitors. Three of those made purchase offers and a planned open house was cancelled.

“We felt February could be a good time to come to market because there isn’t a ton of inventory out yet,” said agent Brayden Irwin. “Usually, people who are starting to look, or haven’t bought in the fall, are ready to go.

“We didn’t foresee nearly four feet of snow that ended up falling, but it still ended up being a good decision.”

This home had several advantages over others for sale nearby, including a refinished basement and parking. One bidder factored those assets into an offer of $33,000 over the asking price.

“If a property is lacking in any area, buyers are really scrutinizing that,” said Mr. Irwin.

“This semi had great width with a proper living and dining room, a nice, big kitchen, and three good-sized bedrooms.

“It was turnkey, had extra living space, and a generous, legal, front pad parking spot.”

What they got

This two-storey house has 1,186 square feet of living space with hardwood flooring and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room.

The kitchen was recently opened to the dining area and redesigned with shaker cabinetry, tile backsplashes and access to a fenced-in yard on the 19- by 96-foot lot.

Two full bathrooms and the recreation area in the basement were also renovated.

The agent’s take

“It’s really close to Yonge and Eglinton, and now we finally have the LRT open,” Mr. Irwin said.
