The action

The buyer’s agent Jeremy Sellmer said his clients had competition but the home still sold for under asking and close to the assessed value of $2,424,000. The sellers had paid $2.7-million in 2021, at the peak of the market.

“You may kick off a multiple offer on a property if you’re priced well, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to get above-asking,” said Mr. Sellmer. “In fact, a lot of times we’re seeing multiple offers come in under-asking.”

What they got

This house in the Southlands neighbourhood on the west side of Vancouver had been well maintained since it was built in 1946.

The 3,080-square-foot house has additions and updates, such as a contemporary new kitchen with flat-panel wood cabinets and enclosed Sub-Zero refrigerator, and other high-end appliances. The kitchen opens onto a large great room as well as a large patio, overlooking a lush, mature landscaped garden.

Desirable features include an extra-high living area, three fireplaces, and hardwood floors. The house has a garage and sits on a large lot that is 50 feet wide by 136 feet long.

The agent’s take

“You’ve got some sellers on the west side right now that are holding on to the old pricing, and we’re not in a monolithic market. We’re in a very segmented market right now,” said Mr. Sellmer.

“And this is not the market to say, ‘We’ll just try it and see what happens.’ Sellers have to be priced correctly to get a sale.”

The sale completed Aug. 27.
