The action

The owners of this three-bedroom townhouse near Old Cummer GO station were not under any pressure to sell, which made it easier for them to reject the first offer for the property, for $815,000, before Christmas. With no other offers forthcoming, they took the property off the market for a few months, returning with a higher asking price in March. An offer of $820,000 was accepted.

“If you look at the math, they [would have been] better off if they had taken the $815,000 with the heating costs, maintenance fees, time and money [factored in],” said agent Bill Thom.

What they got

Part of a roughly 50-year-old townhouse complex, this end unit has a multilevel layout with a street-level entrance, a built-in garage and a private, south-facing yard.

The front door opens into a foyer with a short flight of steps down to a recreation area. Another set of stairs leads up to a living room with access to a patio and open sightlines into a dining area and eat-in kitchen on the next level.

The bedrooms and two bathrooms are on the top two floors. Monthly condominium fees are $660 and cover water usage.

The agent’s take

“It’s a good area with a very good school, and we had an end unit, which is very rare,” Mr. Thom said.

“The backyard is facing south, so you get a lot of light.”
