The action
This three-bedroom house in Oakville, about 45 kilometres west of Toronto, was open for viewing for five days in January, long enough for 66 house hunters to do a private walk-through. The sellers received 18 offers, with the winning bid coming in at $1.45-million, or $350,100 over the asking price.
“I expected maybe eight offers, but once we went to market, it was steady with showings, jammed for a period of five days,” agent Shannon Sullivan said.
“This little pocket is so close to the lake, so it’s very desirable and there are definitely a lot of multiple offers [for homes], but January had thrown us all for a loop. It’s unreal what we’re seeing.”

The agent’s take
“It’s a beautiful pocket in Oakville, super close to the water and a nice family-friendly neighbourhood,” Ms. Sullivan said.
“The home was well maintained but pretty original, but it allowed for a family to come in and make it their own.”
