Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc.Last fall was not the best time to list this three-bedroom bungalow for sale, with buyers in the driver’s seat and competition from three other houses on the same street. But rather than let it sit empty and wait for a turn in the market, the sellers decided to post it for sale, with an asking price of $1.415-million. A few offers trickled in, all too low, and another bid crumbled after the buyer failed to secure financing.

“The market was really bad until about the time we sold it,” said agent Bill Thom. He adds that only one of the neighbouring houses managed to find a buyer. “The other two went off the market,” Mr. Thom said. “The one sold was fully renovated, and the other two were in better condition, but they were priced higher.”Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc.This roughly 70-year-old bungalow sits just north of the commuter parking lot for the Finch subway station.
