There isn’t a seller out there who doesn’t dream of unloading her property lickety-split, at the price she asked for, or even higher. Here are a few properties around the city that were snapped up within seven days.
22 Olive Ave., Unit 1510
Neighbourhood: Willowdale #NYK
List price: $259,000
Sold price: $259,000
Last sold price: N/A
The skinny: There isn’t much to this standard, 600-square-foot concrete box in a soaring highrise at Yonge and Finch, but it’s a hot neighbourhood for York University students and the Chinese community. It sold in three days.
95 Prince Arthur Ave., Unit 518
Neighbourhood: Annex #ANX
List price: $399,000
Sold price: $427,518
Last sold price: N/A
The skinny: A great price for over 800 square feet within walking distance of U of T and both subway lines. The ceilings are low and the interior is dated (carpeting, standard ’80s cream bathroom), but the rooftop garden has a hot tub. It sold in six days.
319 Carlaw Ave., Unit 311
Neighbourhood: South Riverdale #RIV
List price: $389,900
Sold price: $422,400
Last sold price: N/A
The skinny: This 650-square-foot unit is in the so-far unfinished Worklofts at Dundas and Carlaw, yet its price has already jumped seven per cent. It sold the same day it went on the market—it seems both Leslieville and Brad Lamb still have stellar reputations.
119 Walpole Ave.
Neighbourhood: Little India #LTI
List price: $449,900
Sold price: $448,000
Last sold price: $165,000 (1997)
The skinny: Sitting on a 26- by 100-foot lot, this three-bedroom semi sold in four days. It has a basement unit with a separate entrance, not to mention 1,248 square feet of living space. A long-term owner would likely want to update the doors and cabinets, which were clearly bought on a budget.
