Two open house events gave eager buyers the chance to explore this updated Leaside residence and its quiet setting within the family friendly community.

“Being a detached [house] in that neighbourhood for that price range is pretty good,” says agent Julie Kinnear, who notes the abundance of semi-detached homes in the area.”

During a public open house, this two-storey house in Moore Park largely caught the attention of families, including three that made an offer.

“Moore Park is traditionally really expensive, so this was an opportunity to get in at a reasonable price.”

Three buyers made offers for this semi-detached, two-storey house, which is situated across from Elmbrook Park on a quiet, treed crescent in Etobicoke.

“It faces a park, so there are no neighbours across the street, and it’s in a really good school district,” says agent Julie Kinnear. “And, you can walk to shopping, which is kind of rare in Etobicoke.”

There were three offers for this authentic, two-storey loft, which is located in a former office building downtown, says agent Julie Kinnear.

In 2005, the sellers converted the raw office space into a custom residence with unique elements.

Photos posted of this 2½-storey, semi-detached house on Julie Kinnear’s website quickly caught the attention of house hunters, including a few who went as far as making a bid. “People were freaking out as soon as they say it,” says the agent.

The grand stature of this three-storey, six-bedroom residence is so rarely seen in Bloor West Village that a dozen buyers put in bids, including families who were happy in their homes until seeing this one, agent Julie Kinnear says.

“Most are three- or four-bedroom houses with two storeys,” she says. “The odd
three-storey [house] is really a 2½-storey
house with five bedrooms.”

Units are so hard to come by in a boutique conversion project in Parkdale that this 816-square-foot work/live loft was only the second to be posted on the Multiple Listings Service in the past decade, says agent Julie Kinnear.

“A lot of times in the past, a people have just sold their suites to friends,” says
Ms. Kinnear. “It’s a very cool place.”

The family-friendly location of this semi-detached residence – situated on a short dead-end street within a tight-knit community – was motivation enough for a trio of buyers to make a deal with agent Julie Kinnear.

“It’s a bit of an unknown little pocket,” she says. “It’s kind of central to a lot of things, but it’s not quite downtown,
so it has a bit of an uptown feel to it.”

The premium location and lot size of this three-storey Edwardian were key elements that sparked an intense bidding war between a dozen buyers, agent and local resident Julie Kinnear says.

"It was a very unusually large lot for the neighbourhood," says Ms. Kinnear, who considers the property seven or eight feet wider than the average in the west-end community.

Multiple buyers were initially drawn to this two-storey house for its location in the established Teddington Park community, says agent Julie Kinnear.

"It didn’t need anything done," says Ms. Kinnear. "It was all in really good condition."

With recent economic uncertainty and job losses, coupled with rising house prices in some parts of the country, it’s little wonder people are looking closer to home, or, more specifically, at their home, as a means to generate income. Turning a primary residence into a partial income property by adding a suite or basement apartment is a popular option for homeowners, but doing it right requires expert advice and a hefty investment.

This renovated, two-bedroom house generated the most traffic among the properties listed for sale on the real-estate website of Julie Kinnear.

Julie Kinnear, a sales rep with Royal LePage in Toronto, also thinks of her vehicle as a mobile office. "A lot of our work is done in our cars, especially since we end up waiting between appointments and making calls or waiting in front of a house during an offer presentation. I spend on average between three to six hours per day in my vehicle." Julie Kinnear

This renovated 11/2 -storey home probably sold within a week because of its picturesque location and modern look, agent Julie Kinnear says.

First of all, the 1,358-square-foot house is nestled within an up-and-coming waterfront community, just steps from cool shops and cafés along Lake Shore Boulevard and Cliff Lumsden Park on Lake Ontario.

“You’re half a block from the lake … [so] you can walk outside and actually see the lake,” Ms. Kinnear says.

This renovated three-storey duplex is located on a prime tree-lined street within steps of established schools and recreational facilities in the High Park community, and newer urban hot spots in the Junction.

"It’s good value for a detached residence south of Annette Street," agent Julie Kinnear says. "You’re still within walking distance to Bloor [Street], but also close to all those cool stores and independent places in the Junction."
