Last month, 13 homes sold in Leaside, including eight detached homes, four semi-detached homes, and one attached home. The average time to sell a home was 14 days. One home sold a day after it was listed, while the longest lasted 37 days. This doesn't include the 14 homes that have been listed for more than 30 days or the 13 homes that were listed in the month of November and are not selling at their current listed prices. Four of the 13 November sales sold at or above their listed price. Last month’s most valuable home sale was a detached 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home on a 32’ x 122’ Annesley Avenue lot with a private driveway and garage. It sold for $2,630,000, or 98% of the original listing price. This was followed by a home on Southvale Drive, which sold for $2,255,000.

Entry into the Leaside market now requires buyers to spend $1,000,000 for a semi-detached home and at least $1,200,000 for a detached home. Buyers continue to look for homes in midtown while low inventory endures as a main driver of competitive bidding.
