While the final months of the year are often considered a slower period for selling one's home, Toronto's red hot real estate market clearly doesn't sleep, as it was exceptionally active over the holiday season this year.
In fact, over the holiday break, a number of Toronto properties sold -- many above asking price -- on December 25, marking a truly memorable Christmas morning for a number of buyers and sellers in the GTA.
From a sprawling condo in the coveted downtown Shangri La Hotel and Residences, to a recently renovated family-friendly home in Agincourt North, these are 13 Toronto properties that closed on Christmas Day.
