The action
The seller had lived in the unit for decades and was part of a tight-knit community in the 12-unit building. Once the price was reduced, a neighbour made the winning offer, said listing agent Dwayne Launt. Before that, he had received one other offer that didn’t work out.
The property had to be relisted a couple of times to find a buyer, he said, largely due to the need for updates.
But Mr. Launt was touched by the camaraderie of the neighbourhood.
“It took a while to sell because it was a renovation project, but one of the most lovely things, honestly, was the open house,” said Mr. Launt. “It’s really a Strathcona community story.”

The agent’s take
“We’ve definitely had a spurt here, so things are selling and prices have had to come down. But I think there’s a small late spring rally,” said Mr. Launt.
“That’s what we are feeling. And of course, the real estate numbers will say that as well. Not a massive rally, but people still have to move in the summer. We have listings coming up.”
