Full price. $514,900. Odd that someone would pay full pop for a listing that's over 2 1/2 months old.

There’s a reality check on where the market went.

Thanks, Dave. That's more in line with the neighbourhood I think.

I'm pretty sure this was clarified previously, but can't find the post. What's the purpose of the deposit?

Let's say an offer is made, accepted and a deposit of $50,000 is part of the deal. Let's say the purchasers back-out of the agreement. What penalty, if any, do they face? Can they be somehow held accountable for the deposit in court?

Thanks

Was the deposit actually paid? Was the deal firm or did it have conditions? If the deal is firm, courts could order the buyers to close the deal or be responsible for any costs the sellers incur as a result of the breach plus the difference (if any) between what the sellers resold for and what the buyers agreed to pay.

Yahoo! We can put this silly stuff behind us and move on.

The Supreme Court of Canada said Thursday morning it won't hear an appeal from the Toronto Real Estate Board that would aim to keep the board's members from publishing home sales data.

The decision may mean the end of a long legal battle over whether consumers should have online access to information such as home sales prices, house history and property market trends in a neighbourhood.

Yup, heard the news this morning. No issues from me on this decision either. It's not like we didn't know it was coming.

Always thought it was odd the general public couldn't see what homes sold for, or what the history is in the neighborhood.

Hey Dave

Can you tell me what 1220 Richards Cres Oakville went for?
Please and thanks
Enquiring minds want to know.....

$840,000 and considering the ugly yellow paint on the exterior, they did well. It's amazing how people fail to understand how important curb appeal is. A quick paint job with a more neutral colour would make a huge difference.

Good morning.
There are a couple of houses on Milford Crescent in Brampton that sold relatively recently.
My apologies, but I don't know the number of these houses.
Are you able to give me an idea of what these sold for?
Thank you for your time.

[rsfairwaysandgreens]

Thanks
That place needs 150K in upgrades
Puts my mind at ease since I intend to sell in the spring
