The number of home sales in Leaside and Bennington Heights last year was the lowest in 10 years.
Only 162 homes traded hands in 2015 compared to the 10-year average of 220 homes per year.
December was very slow: five homes sold, only one a semi-detached.
But it was a good market for sellers: Those 162 homes last year sold on average 5 percent higher than the asking price and in 13 days.
Over the last decade there’s been an average price increase of 10.14 percent per year.
