Tales from the Front Line
I thought I’d share a snapshot of what we’ve been seeing on the front lines of the housing market this month.
February is always an interesting time. Inventory tends to be lighter than what we see in March and April, which means the homes that do come to market often attract more attention, simply because buyers don’t have many options. That dynamic has been very evident this past week, particularly in the under-$1.1M price range, where we’ve seen multiple-offer scenarios play out successfully.
Here are a few notable examples:
102 Woodfield (Dundas & Greenwood)
Listed at $1,099,000, this move-in-ready semi-detached home with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and parking generated 82 showings and 12 offers, ultimately selling for $1,451,000.
419 Mortimer (Danforth & Greenwood)
Listed at $789,000, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi with parking and a garage received 5 offers and sold for $995,000. What makes this sale especially interesting is its backstory. The home had previously been listed in May 2025 at $998,000, then reduced to $948,000, and sat on the market for 177 days. With new agents, a refreshed strategy, removal of knob-and-tube wiring, and new appliances, it sold for nearly the original asking price. Proof that pricing, preparation, and positioning truly matter.
140 Hillsdale (Yonge & Eglinton)
Listed at $1,099,000, this detached 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home (no parking) required a full gut renovation. Despite that, it received 13 offers and sold for $1,315,000. One notable twist: the sellers opted for an open bidding process, where buyers could see competing offers. In my view, a traditional closed bidding process may have pushed the final price even higher.
