What they got

This Hastings Sunrise bungalow has 2,000 square feet of living space and sits on a standard 33- by 122-foot lot in a quiet pocket off busy Nanaimo Street.

Built in 1929, the house was well-maintained and had curb appeal, said the buyer’s agent, Bronwyn Bertles. The home has original features like fir floors and a fireplace. The kitchen had been updated.

Other selling features included a garage, a big deck and mountain views. It has two bedrooms on the main and upper floors, but could be converted to three. There’s also a potentially income-generating one-bedroom suite in the basement.

The action

Ms. Bertles said the home was “one of the first well-priced homes” she and her clients had seen in their hunt. She believes the house got two other offers, but her young clients made their offer first, which was over asking.

“Rental income was key, and they just really wanted a quiet street,” she said. “The area has gentrified a lot,” said Ms. Bertles.

The sale completed Sept. 15.

The agent’s take

Ms. Bertles said the uncertainty of the spring market pushed buyers into the summer, when first-time buyers were more active. She said Hastings Sunrise is attracting families because the streets are safe and quiet, and it’s still central.

“One thing about this market, if you can do it, upsizing is a good thing,” said Ms. Bertles. “If you can make the jump, there are great opportunities.”
