decent reno inside, but curb appeal?
They also neglected updating the old single pane, aluminum framed windows. Cosmetic reno that ran out of money?

"Huge deck & covered BBQ area let you enjoy the sun"

From the picture, it seems they over used the "BBQ area" and burned the entire front of the house - maybe that was what added "character" in the eyes of the very astute buyers?

Burned? I thought it's a black mold.
Really, what are those black spots on the front of the house?

It seems strange that they wouldn't have replaced the outside of the house. It is so ugly.

I think you are right - it does look like black mold especially on upper floor around window.

ETB...what is the percentage of over list sales of the total sales?

[eyesthebye]

ETB...what is the percentage of over list sales of the total sales?

good question

that might take me a good hour to compile - not sure I have the time?
Just off the top of my head I'd say about 50-60%

[eyesthebye]

ETB...what is the percentage of over list sales of the total sales?

March detached sales above asking 38/112
another 1/3 are at or within 10K of asking
the final 1/3 are lower

again fish, my purpose for this thread is to provide anecdotal evidence. If you wish to posts your individual examples of "fire sale" discounts please be my guest.

You're reading way too much into my question. It was simple curiosity.

Character homes still on fire - this one priced at bidding war level. Since the exterior was the only photo I'm guessing this one is a major project

2782 ETON ST
MLS® V935487
33x125 lot
1577sqft "old timer" with 988 unfinished.
Asking $719,900
SOLD for $820,000 on 6-March-2012 after 11 days on the market

This charming 3 bedroom home is located on one of the prettiest streets in the East End, surrounded by mature oak trees with beautiful views of Burrard Inlet, the north shore mountains and the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge from the top window and front porch. It's convenient location is close to easy bus access to downtown and the Hastings shopping area, and just a shortwalk to an elementary school. It's unfinished basement has access to the outside making it possible to install a rentable suite if necessary. Don't wait to see what this house with character in a fantastic neighbourhood has to offer.

In the PNE area too. dont tell me that the next hot area is this area.

I would not be surprised if this property got full renos and then sell for $1.3 million.

again fish, my purpose for this thread is to provide anecdotal evidence.

The vast majority of sales cited on this topic are the overlists, when they make up about 1/3 of transactions.

Don't get me wrong, this IS my favourite topic on RET, just trying to frame the "details" within a broader context. Looks like there are more than a few eager yet discriminating beavers out there.

If I discover any "steals" I usually list them on the "deal tracker" thread. These deals usually end up in bidding wars.
You'll wait a long time if you're wanting me to post detached selling at what is perceived as a substantial discount - they just aren't out there.
And as far as sales within a narrow range of selling? Boring

I love the house.
It's a Kits style "arts and crafts" in E. Vancouver.
I was looking around a bit in 2005 but not ready to buy. My poor timing
cost me one of these on Gravely that was since fully renovated and now worth 1.4M. Funny, it sat on the market for a couple of months in 2005 before selling for...$365,000!
