All these GTA houses sold way below their listing prices
The latter half of 2023 witnessed many hopeful homebuyers in the GTA taking a step back from the real market as the cost of borrowing made buying GTA houses an inconceivable prospect.
This decline in interest, driven by a lack of affordability, saw many homes in the region sell for less than their listing price or sit on the market for long periods.
And while prices haven’t exactly declined in the GTA, there are still many homes that continue to be sold for less than their initial listing prices into 2024, as shown in a recent Zoocasa report.
Here are 10 houses that recently sold for way below their asking price.
35 Green Valley Road, Toronto
This modern four-bedroom, seven-bathroom home is nestled in the luxurious Hoggs Hollow neighbourhood. With opulent elements like a cascading waterfall, backyard oasis and floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s no wonder why the property was listed for a staggering $11.89 million.
