Hi.

Welcome to the MASH where we gossip about current real estate listings.

Enjoy!

68 Prust Avenue - GREENWOOD-COXWELL

68 Prust Avenue - GREENWOOD-COXWELL

This is a 3+1 bedroom, 4 bathroom flip on a 20 x 119 foot lot in the Greenwood-Coxwell.

Here are the pictures of what it looked like when it was listed in April for $599,900...

Clearly this is a flip and it was done by Nero Atelier, the same people that did the flip for the house at 133 Simpson Avenue in Riverdale that was listed at $899,000 in April 2012 and sold for $995,000.

This house is listed at $889,900.

There are a lot of similarities between the 2 houses like the kitchen and stairs (though that house didn't have a collection of Jolly Rancher coloured chairs).

But Simpson was listed in a couple month stretch in 2012 when, in my opinion, Riverdale prices skyrocketed.

This is not in an as high of demand of an area and it is not going through the same craziness as Riverdale did in the spring of 2012.

Sure, 112 Ivy Avenue that was listed at $899,900 and is located around the corner sold for $912,000, but it was a 4 bedroom house, and better.

And what about 46 Bloomfield Avenue around the corner that is probably a more comparable house in size to this one? When I posted it, the asking price was $749,900.  I thought it would go in the mid 8s though it had been sitting for a couple of weeks.

It finally sold for a week later for $755,000.

So...$899,900 with no parking, not a great deck, a kitchen that I am not loving and one less bedroom than 112 Ivy?

This is way too high.

I have no idea why 46 Bloomfield sold so low, even without the basement railing,...

And even though I would prefer that house any day, I think this will probably sell higher.  Perhaps around $835,000. 

P.S. Not sure the junk on the neighbour's front porch is going to help much either.
