In December, I posted this 4+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 4,600 house with a heated 3 car garage on a 30 x 131.67 foot lot at 118 Givins Street in Trinity-Bellwoods.

It was a house that looked like this when it was listed in November 2015...

The asking price was around $1.8.  I'm not sure what it sold for but considering it sold in 1 day, it was probably a bit over asking.

Since then, the outside was painted, a wall was torn down between the living room and dining room, the floors were changed, the kitchen countertop was replaced and the island was painted, the master vanity was replaced, and fake grass was added in the background.

And that's about it.

The new asking price was $3,199,000.

So, either the sold price in 2015 was a lot higher than asking or the owners were looking for a BIG profit.

Either way, it didn't make sense to me and I thought the price was high.

A month and a half after I posted it, this house sold in mid-January...

For $3,050,000.
