The action

This 45-year-old house was taken off the market following a 10-week run last fall for its owners to regroup and renovate the main floor with new hardwood flooring, an updated kitchen and two stylish bathrooms. A new agent, confident the makeover would boost interest in the home, listed it for $659,900 in May. But buyers were passing it over for larger options in the area, near Fish Creek Provincial Park.

“Buyers had choices and no rush, it seemed,” said agent Bryon Howard. “Being a bi-level [home], the square footage was small under 1,200 square feet. A lot of people, in their search criteria, would only look at homes over 1,200 square feet.”

After a month, a buyer negotiated a selling price of $640,000. The property sold ahead of the market’s 50-day average on account of its triple garage on a pie-shaped lot with 25-foot frontage and 94-foot depth.

“There were three or four [properties] in active competition, but none with triple-car garages,” Mr. Howard said. “It’s on a cul-de-sac and it’s on a pie-shaped lot, so the back yard is quite large.”

What they got

This detached house has 1,146 square feet of living space, including three bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and an eat-in kitchen with access to a balcony.

The basement has one bedroom and two recreation areas. The larger space has an exit to the patio and tiered garden.

In 2024, the windows and roofing were replaced.

The agent’s take

“It’s quite a desirable neighbourhood,” Mr. Howard said. “Buyers were mostly young families upsizing from a townhome or condo.”
