PRICE DROP #5 - 226 Riverside Drive - SWANSEA

This 3+1 bedroom, 4 bathroom house on a 120 x 185 foot riverside (hence the street name) lot at 226 Riverside Drive in Swansea

has been listed for at least 2 years.

When I first posted it in July 2012, I mentioned that I preferred the streetview picture to the listing photo...

That's a nice house.

And it has an amazing view of the Humber River...

But it was only 3 bedrooms. 

The asking price was $3,198,000.

Though it had been listed in 2008 for $2,998,000, and though I am not sure what it sold for, even if it did sell, it wasn't going to sell in 2012 for $3.2.

It didn't sell and, in June 2013, the price was dropped to $2,799,000.  It was relisted in October for the same price.

No sale.

In May 2014, it was brought back on the market for $2,788,000.   I thought that perhaps it might be a good idea to stage...

For $2,600,000.

But it looks like they haven't had a chance to pick up that book yet.

Because the listing now includes a new angle of the tusks...
