The action Open this photo in gallery:<\/a><\/p>\n

The buyer negotiated a deal shortly after the house was relisted with a lower asking price.Re\/Max West Realty Inc.<\/p>\n

This four-bedroom house has 2,510 square feet of living space and a finished basement with direct access to a heated garage and driveway. There\u2019s also a rear exit to a hot tub and cabana on the 35- by 120-foot lot. Though buyers this spring were intrigued by the home\u2019s design and convenient location a block from Bloor Street West, there was only one offer, and that was far below the asking price. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are excellent schools in the area that certainly attract a lot of young families,\u201d said agent Luisa Piccirilli. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very spacious house, but a lot of feedback was [that buyers] wanted it a little bigger. Otherwise, the upgrades more than made up for that.\u201d <\/p>\n

In August, the home was relisted with the asking price cut by $150,000. Within two weeks, one buyer negotiated a deal at $3.5-million, with another potential buyer waiting in the wings.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of a sudden, we had so many more eyes on the listing,\u201d Ms. Piccirilli said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI like to work with one offer at a time, but we could have had a choice of other offers. We had someone potentially waiting if something went south with this offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cabana was great because it was multifunctional,\u201d said Ms. Piccirilli. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt could have been a yoga studio, definitely an office or even a cigar lounge.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: The four-bedroom house has 2,510 square feet of living space and a rear…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":940135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194291],"tags":[49,48,49594,143460,1398,968,3302,143459],"class_list":["post-940134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-done-deal","tag-donedeal","tag-nodelphi","tag-real-estate","tag-toronto","tag-toronto-home-sales"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=940134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/940135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=940134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=940134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=940134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
