A recent sale at 85 Roosevelt Rd. illustrates this nuance perfectly. Listed for $1,299,000, the four-bedroom backsplit attracted significant attention, with dozens of groups attending open houses. However, listing agent Linda Ing-Gilbert of Re\/Max Hallmark Realty Ltd. noted that much of the foot traffic came from curious neighbours rather than active buyers, many of whom were hesitant to make a move in the current climate.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the crowd, the property secured one solid conditional offer, ultimately closing at $1,352,000 after 21 days on the market. This sale highlights a broader trend in the GTA where strategic pricing remains vital, but buyer confidence remains tempered by hesitation.
