The action
This two-bedroom suite with a den is in a 14-year-old high-rise near Sherwood Park.William Kwok/William Kwok
This two-bedroom suite with a den came to market in September along with three other almost identical units in a 14-year-old high-rise near Sherwood Park. Though it presented well, visitors to the property, including three repeat guests, failed to break the ice with an offer.
“We had it listed like everybody else at $998,000, but the difference compared to [the] other units is it was all painted and professionally staged, so it looked really nice,” said agent Belinda Lelli.
“I encouraged my client to pivot and try a new strategy, seeing that none of the suites were moving. We in fact had the most showings – 13 in all – but no offers.”
The seller agreed to an eye-catching new price of $888,000, which quickly resulted in seven new tours being booked. Days before the date set aside for reviewing offers, one buyer sealed the deal at $918,000.
“[It] started a little lower, but they came up,” said Ms. Lelli.
“Some units were still on the market because everyone is stubborn.”
What they got

“Its size is a luxury,” said Ms. Lelli. “It feels like a nice, small bungalow; it’s really well laid out.”
“It’s a really nice neighbourhood. You can literally walk across the street to Sherwood Park, and everyone is there with their kids and dogs.”
