The action
Open houses are often scheduled between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on the weekends, but the hours were extended for this three-bedroom bungalow to catch buyers before they could make pit stops at other properties in the neighbourhood. A good number of guests turned up during those extended times, including local homeowners who returned with an offer.
“A week before we sold, around Royal York [Road] and between Lake Shore [Boulevard] and Bloor [Street], there were 45 open houses,” said agent Ed Allan.
“The person who bought the property came through an open house, which I started from 12 until 4 p.m.”
The seller luckily reached a $1.17-million deal with the buyers, who adored the setting of the 49- by 105-foot lot.
“It backs onto a beautiful greenbelt. Yes, there’s a hydro line, but it’s been there since the fifties, so there were no problems,” Mr. Allan said.
“The day we got the offer, there were three brand-new listings around the corner.”

The agent’s take
“It’s your typical, three-bedroom bungalow in the area,” said Mr. Allan.
“It was in mint shape. The windows had been upgraded, the roof was in good shape, and the hardwood floors were recently done.”
