SUCCESS STORIES

Markham Village homes like 63 Oak Lea have a high demand. These homes are great for families and also situated in a wonderful location with surrounding schools, parks and restaurants. Homeowners who have big families or are starting their family would be very suitable.  63 Oak Lea Circle is a 4 bedroom and 4 bath detached home in 2000 - 2500 Sq Ft. 

As demanding as these homes are for its size and lot, they are older. Some do require renovations for those who would prefer a more modern home. When this home was initially listed, there was immediate interest from buyers. We had quickly come to accept an offer at sold condition while waiting for the inspection. Unfortunately for an older home, we did find some issues. Due to the fact, even being fixed/removed by the seller, the buyer had stepped away from the purchase. This brought this lovely home back onto the market. 

Since fixing the issue and bringing it back to the market, we continued to have a lot of interest. It was very important this time around that buyers were aware of the situation to build trust and work through the problems to ensure the success of selling the home. We did have another offer come in and this time around the inspection was a success! 63 Oak Lea Cir was SOLD for $1,500,000.  

It is very important to keep a home up to date and checked every few years. If you ever consider selling your home these may be things to keep in mind to ensure the successful outcome.

25 Austin Dr is a condo located on Bullock Dr & Hwy 7 in Markham right next to CF Markville mall. This is an older but very spacious unit on the 7th floor. Before listing the unit they cleaned up their home for showings but decided to remain everything as original. The unit was not renovated nor staged for the showings.

Homes were on the market longer during this time due to the buyers market. There were not many listings, not many sales and prices have come down a lot. This unit was listed for $810,000 but the clients were willing to negotiate. This property was on the market for over a month till we suddenly had multiple buyers. Multiple offer don't happen often in a buyers market so we made the most of this situation. Through the negotiation process we were able to ask for 20k more from the highest offer to come closer to the listing price. After negotiations, we settled and sold for $770,000 for this property.

Given the time and lack of renovations we came quite close to the listing price. Not to mention multiple offers too. What definitely helped us was the lack of listings in this condo at the time which brought more attention to us. The right property at the right time.
