The action

This three-bedroom house in a neighbourhood near the Square One and Dixie Outlet malls, was the only semi-detached in the area up for sale in the first week of June. That lack of competition gave them the confidence to turn down the first weak offer. They were able to wait for another bid and negotiate an acceptable offer $29,000 below their asking price.

“It was a busy listing because it was in a great location,” said agent Mary Jo Vradis. “It’s a good starter home, and it’s been renovated.

“We priced it appropriately, which is why it sold fast,” she said. “We did quite a bit of stuff, like a lot of staging and painting, even though it was already renovated.”

What they got

“It’s a great little family house for someone looking to start out,” said Ms. Vradis.

“They had a pizza oven at the back, which was nice, and high hedges,” Ms. Vradis said. “It was a really cute backyard and a very welcoming space.

“There are great schools, and it’s close to parks.”
