This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, that a house in Toronto sells for over-asking. But when a house sells for close to a million dollars over its list price, it definitely gets our attention. And that's exactly what the 4-bed, 4-bath at 20 Simpson Avenue in Riverdale just did.
Of course, over asking is a tough metric to hang your hat on. In doesn't necessarily reflect... well, all that much without the proper context. In a sellers' market, many agents will list below market value on purpose in an attempt to drum up a bidding war or a bully offer. But, again, selling for $881,000 over the list price is certainly uncommon – even in a market as competitive as Toronto's is right now.
Specs:
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 4

- Taxes (2020): $9,361
- Listed for: $1,829,000
- Sold for: $2,710,000
The detached home with two parking spaces does have a lot going for it though. It's steps from one of the best parks in the city, provides easy access to the DVP, has unique custom touches throughout, and offers a backyard big enough to throw a few socially-distanced BBQs.
