The action
The sellers bought the house in 2003 but retired and moved away. The buyers will likely hold the property as a rental, said listing agent Shali Tark. She showed the house for three days and received three offers, all above asking. The winning bid came in with a cash offer and bank draft deposit. In a competitive market like this one, you need a good strategy, said Ms. Tark. “That bank draft helped them get the property.” The sale closes April 7.
What they got
The three-bedroom 2,235-square-foot house sits on a standard 33- by-120-foot lot in the Cedar Cottage neighbourhood on the east side of the city, near Commercial Drive and Trout Lake. Built in 1912, the two-storey house has some original details, as well as updated wiring, plumbing and drainage, and a professionally landscaped garden. There is a two-bedroom mortgage helper in the basement.

The agent’s take
“The price was a really good surprise for the sellers, because we priced it at $1.499-million and [earlier this month] other properties were selling for around $1.5-million. But this is Vancouver, and every week that number changes.”
