North York house goes for $612,000 over asking after 17 bids
This vacant, five-bedroom house was newly painted and staged, and its location just north of the tony Bridle Path in a popular school district added to the intense buyer interest. An early pre-emptive offer of $2.2-million sparked a raft of counter-bids, ending after 17 offers with the sellers signing off on a deal for $2.61-million. “The strategy was to put it on the market before the spring,” said agent Belinda Lelli, because inventories were low in January.
“It was buyer mayhem from the onset,” she said. “I fielded 112 showings and 17 offers.”
