The action
The open concept kitchen has quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances.UrbanMeasure + Photography
This five-year-old house near Nose Hill Park was a hive of activity with more than a dozen prospective buyers taking private tours and twice that number attending an open house event. Before the end of the weekend, several offers rolled in, including one below the $849,900 list price and one $17,350 above it. The seller took the more generous offer.
“There was one house sold on a busier street in the area that we were waiting to finalize before we brought this one to market,” said agent Joel Gwillim. “That way there wouldn’t be much competition and ours would really stand out.
“Given the fact that this showed really well and it’s a detached home in a good inner-city area, I figured we would get multiple offers.”
What they got

Nine-foot ceilings, pot lights and hardwood flooring enhance the living and dining areas. There is a double garage and a low-maintenance yard with artificial turf and a stone patio.
The basement was recently transformed to create a recreation area, guest bedroom and fourth bathroom.

The agent’s take
“This was a developer’s personal property for a couple years, so he’d built it to a higher standard than you’d see for something of this age, like it had extended ceilings and nice specs in the kitchen,” Mr. Gwillim said.
“The [sellers] had finished the basement and spent time making sure all the products, colours and cosmetics matched the rest of the home, so that was added value.”
