The action
This three-bedroom house came on the market in late October after a month in which there were no other homes for sale in Burlington’s Palmer neighbourhood. Three would-be buyers pounced on the property with competing bids, one of whom also included a personal letter to the seller.
“There’s very limited inventory, so there’s been a lot of bidding wars,” said agent Tobias Smulders.
“Letters give the seller the sense their home is going to be loved by a new owner as much as they loved it, though in this case, it was not the determining factor.”
The $1.035-million sale price was remarkable, Mr. Smulders said, for a house linked at the foundations to its neighbour.
“[The price] of a linked house falls in between a semi-detached and a detached house, but in this case, the sale price was almost comparable to a detached home,” Mr. Smulders said.

The agent’s take
“It’s in a typical, suburban neighbourhood,” said Mr. Smulders.
“It’s on a busier street, which would typically be a deterrent, but backing onto a park and being a family home, no one complained at all.”
