Builders Still Love Leaside!
Most of the 6 bungalows had multiple offers on them. They ranged in frontage from 25.5 feet to 42 feet and averaged $1,121,500, or 12% above the asking price. Builders, renovators and end users are still finding value in the land and our great neighbourhood streets.
There were also several 2-storey homes that were in need of renovations but were not tear downs. $1.3-1.6 million seems to be the new normal. A number of heads turned when a North Leaside, 35’ x 135’ tear down sold for over $1.6 million.
Thus far in 2016, the first 24 homes sold went 11% higher on average than the asking price, and in just 11 days.
The highest valued Leaside sale on TREB MLS so far in 2016 is $2.465 million. A beautiful newly constructed home on Airdrie in South Leaside.
