Dear reader, The bidding war—a scourge to buyers, boon to sellers and even bigger boon to real estate agents—appears to be back. As inflation continues to tumble, so do interest rates, and experts predict a roaring spring market. In anticipation of the rebound, sellers are jumping the queue and gaming the system by listing their homes well below market value—and it’s working. In Curb Appeal’s top post this week, reporter Ali Amad speaks with three different agents who employed the strategy, one of whom ended up getting their client $146,000 over asking. Also in today’s newsletter: a Yorkville landmark featured in an Atom Egoyan film. Plus, a $20-million art sanctuary in Rosedale.
