The action

This four-bedroom house in a residential enclave near Highway 404 and Elgin Mills Road attracted two quick offers and sold considerably over the asking price.

A revived market and a thorough staging undoubtedly helped the sale, said agent Hiuyan Bow, but an auspicious address may also have lent a hand.

“Eighteen in the Chinese communities is a very sought after number,” said Ms. Bow, “so on any given street, there are only so many of those addresses.”

The agent’s take

“There’s a lot of great schools in the area, so it’s a very family-oriented neighbourhood,” Ms. Bow said.

“The public school, literally steps from the home, is a French immersion school.”
