The action
The townhouse has roughly 1,400 square feet of living space.Forest Hill Real Estate Inc.
This two-storey townhouse had roughly 20 visitors over three days, with two bidders emerging, both determined to lock down a deal by the start of the workweek. One raised their initial offer to $65,100 over asking, which the seller accepted.
“The market was just starting to turn, so it was a little unpredictable,” said agent Cori Endrody. “But there wasn’t a lot of inventory at that price point … so we expected multiple offers.”
“It was someone local that purchased it,” Ms. Endrody said. “However, because prices in the GTA are so incredibly high for most first-time buyers, we are finding [Toronto buyers] are coming to Guelph or Kitchener to find that price point they can afford.”

“There are a lot of new builds in Guelph, but this property is older, hence it has such large square footage,” said Ms. Endrody.
“It’s close to everything – walking distance of the university, five minutes to Stone Road Mall and close to all the major highways – so it was beautifully located.”
