The action
There is a dining area and a separate eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc.
Realtor Vadim Vilensky’s clients were outbid on three houses in Toronto, so he redirected them to less expensive options further north in the suburb of Vaughan. They liked this four-bedroom townhouse when it was listed for $1,189,000, but shied away, uncomfortable with the possibility of being entangled in another bidding war. When the home was relisted with an asking price bumped up to $1,299,000, they decided to make an offer.
“At $1.299-million, they didn’t think it was possible to buy a home like that with their budget,” said Mr. Vilensky. “But I said, ‘Let’s give it a try.’ We started at a much lower number. [Negotiations] took five days of back and forth.”
What they got

“Most townhouses in that area have three bedrooms, [this one] had four bedrooms,” said Mr. Vilensky.
“I recommend clients buy homes with finished basements because if you were to finish the basement by yourself, it used to be $30,000, and now you’re looking at $50,000 to $60,000.”
“They can walk to the Maple GO [transit] station and take the train on days when they’re not working from home,” said Mr. Vilensky.
“There is a French immersion school that’s about a six-minute walk for the kids, and they’re building a new community centre down the street.”
