A couple of days ago, a reader sent in an email this 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom semi with a detached garage on a 20 x 136 foot lot at 147 Lisgar Street in Beaconsfield Village.

It was a house that I had posted in July 2012 when it was listed $1,195,000 and sold a month later for $1,200,000.

It was a flip of a house that used to look like this...

At the time, there was a wine cellar in the basement.  Since then, the basement has been turned into a separate apartment.

When the reader sent in the email, they pointed out that this time around, the house had been on the market for about 48 hours with an asking price of $1,699,000 and then it was gone.

Turns out it sold...

For $2,100,000 which is about a 12% increase...

So, in this market...not so crazy.
