The action
The sellers shaved $11,500 off their ask to cut a deal after 10 days on the market.Keller Williams Portfolio Realty
This 120-year-old semi-detached house was last renovated in the 1980s and mostly attracted buyers looking for a property in trendy Cabbagetown ready for an update. One bidder expressed interest, but not at the list price. The sellers shaved $11,500 off their ask to cut a deal after 10 days on the market.
“For that area, it sold pretty fast,” said agent Irene Kaushansky. “There has been a lot lingering on the market in Cabbagetown for a couple months or more.”
“These days, we’re just grateful for one offer because the market is so uneven.”

The agent’s take
Though it lacks parking, like most homes in the area, it has easy access to street parking, and shops and transit on Parliament Street.Keller Williams Portfolio Realty
“Cabbagetown has a lot of three-storey homes, whether they’re semis, row houses or detached,” Ms. Kaushansky said.
“This was very big and still has a lot of character, and it has access to a little park at the rear, which is a big thing.”
Though it lacks parking, like most homes in the area, it has easy access to street parking, and shops and transit on Parliament Street. “It wasn’t as much of an issue there as it may be in other neighbourhoods,” Ms. Kaushansky said.
