30-foot frontage? That’s worth $1.3 million

Even if your Leaside bungalow is a tear-down, it’s still worth more than a million bucks if you have a 30-foot frontage.

A South Leaside bungalow with a 30-foot frontage recently sold for over $1.3 million, suggesting that builders are still finding value in the neighbourhood.

At the middle of February the first 13 homes sold went nine percent higher on average than the asking price, and in just nine days.

The highest valued sale on TREB MLS to that point in 2016 was $1.761 million for a home on Leacrest Rd. in South Leaside.

There were 14 listings available in Leaside, including a 41-foot storefront on Bayview for $2.5 million.
