PRICE INCREASE #3 - 42 Delaware Avenue - DUFFERIN GROVE

This is a 4+2 bedroom, 4 bathroom house on a 45 x 137 foot lot at 42 Delaware Avenue in Dufferin Grove.

I first posted it in January 2013.

It was a B&B called Ashleigh Heritage Home that didn't exactly have good reviews on TripAdvisor.ca.

Here is one of the rooms...

So, unless you wanted to keep it a bed and breakfast, it would need a lot of work.

It was listed at $1,950,000.  At the time, I thought it would sell for $1,450,000...maybe $1,550,000.

It never sold and the price was increased to $2,250,000 in October 2013.

In March 2014, it came back on the market at a price drop to $2,150,000 and then another drop to $1,950,000 in April 2014.

In December 2014, the price was increased to $2,350,000.

Sure, as the listing then pointed out, this house was the sister house of the one at 176 Crescent Road in Rosedale...

That eventually sold for $4,530,000 in June 2015...

But that price was still too high.  

Considering that the house at 544 Palmerston Boulevard...

Had recently sold for $1,775,000...

And taking a 10% increase into account, I was thinking by this point that the house would go for around $1.8 million.

It never sold.

A few weeks ago, the price was increased again...

To $2,850,000.

Sure, the house at 330 Palmerston Avenue just sold for $2,330,330...

But in this location and for the amount of work it needs...
