The average dollar values of the December transactions were up 84% to $1,685,750 this is due to the very small number of sales, their averages and all being detached homes. There weren’t any semi-detached home sales in December. December is typically a slow month for real estate transactions.
There were 23 Bungalow sales in 2014. They started at $580,000 for a 25 foot by 100 foot lot in South Leaside on Eglinton Avenue. To the the most notable December sale, a North Leaside bungalow. It sold for a whopping $1,203,000 or 35% above the asking price. That is $106,000 more than at 31.5 foot by 135 foot bung a few doors down the street last June. That works out to about $35,000 per foot of frontage or $120,000 for the 3.5 foot deference between the 2 homes. This is a strong indicator that builders are bullish on the Leaside market for 2015. Expect to see some spectacular new homes in our neighbourhood for sale this year.
