In May, this three-bedroom house was one of only a few homes for sale in Everett, a small town about 100 kilometres north of downtown Toronto. The sellers listed it slightly below what they believed was market value at roughly $1.15-million. They were willing to wait for the right offer but moved quickly to accept a negotiated bid of $1.2-million the day after it hit the market.
“Everett is a very small town outside of Alliston, and properties were tending to sit longer as opposed to selling that quickly,” said agent Linda Marrocco, who added that the norm was, “at least three weeks.”
Co-listing agent Mary Jo Vradis partially credits the quick sale to its professionally staged interiors. “It was more work for us because we were bringing everything from Toronto,” Ms. Vradis said.
“We did what we normally do to make it look good in pictures and that made a big difference because people don’t tend to stage out there.”

The agent’s take
The house boasts a large deck with a cabana.

“The lot is over half an acre, backing onto a farm, so there are no back neighbours, and it has over 100-foot frontage,” Ms. Marrocco said.
“It’s maybe a seven-minute drive to Alliston, which is a major town where you can find anything you need, like the grocery store.”
The basement features a second kitchen and recreation room, along with two bedrooms.
