The action
Agent Pradip Nag estimated the value of this semi-detached house near G. Ross Lord Park at between $1.15-million and $1.17-million, but its owners wanted to test an asking price above $1.22-million this summer. It wasn’t so much the price as the location that turned off many buyers, as the home’s 20- by 152-foot lot backed onto a hydro line corridor.
“[The sellers] preferred to list at $1.225-million as many were anticipating an interest-rate cut in June,” said agent Pradip Nag.
“Although the open house turnout was fantastic, we realized another challenge: the hydro corridor was a major concern for many buyers.”

After two weeks, the asking price was cut by $50,000. A repeat visitor whose earlier offer had been rejected came back with a revised offer, narrowly beating out another bidder.
“There were around 10 to 15 listings [in the area], but nothing compared to this one,” Mr. Nag said.
“The buyers really liked the property because it’s really spacious, and a corner lot.
“The layout is fantastic, and they wanted to live in that area.”

The agent’s take
“When [my clients] bought it, it was in really bad condition,” Mr. Nag said.
