Hi.

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

Enjoy!

PRICE DECREASE - 79 Markham Street - TRINITY-BELLWOODS

PRICE DECREASE - 79 Markham Street - TRINITY-BELLWOODS

This house has been listed since December.

It is

a 3+3 bedroom, 4 bathroom house on a 25 x 67.25 foot lot at 79 Markham Street in Trinity-Bellwoods.

And it is the house that had 2 fires and 1 explosion happen all in less than 2 years.

In

September 2013, it had a fire that caused $100,000 in damage only 2 days after the current owner took possession of it for $550,000.

Then in December 2014, two months after 

a Committee of Adjustment report

 for a 3 storey house was approved, according to this 

Toronto Star article

...

Workers renovating a Markham St. home arrived Monday morning to find two large plastic buckets — one on the main floor, one upstairs — each containing a chemical liquid and a submerged barbecue-like element connected to a timer and plugged into a wall, according to Toronto Fire Services.

Then in January 2015, there was an explosion and another fire!

In March, it was on the market for $759,900

with a listing photo that looked like this...

I guess it didn't sell because this new build was put on the market in December by the same owner as before.

The asking price was $1,188,000.

With this bathroom...

On a 67.25 foot lot...

That wasn't going to happen.

It didn't sell and at the

end of January, a reader emailed to say there had been a price increase.

The new price was $1,388,000.

Unsurprisingly, it didn't sell.

The price has now been decreased...

To $1,258,888.
