It has two parking spaces, a wood burning fireplace and has been updated with granite counters in the kitchen and bath. The monthly fee is $475.
There are only 7 condominiums apartments listed under $500,000, which explains the soaring prices.

"A year seems to have made a big difference. It is clear that many buyers who were on the sidelines due to the OSFI stress test are moving back into the market, driving very strong year-over-year sales growth in the detached segment," said Jason Mercer, TRREB’s Director of Market Analysis and Service Channels.
Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 4,581 sales through TREB’s MLS® System in January 2020. This result was up by a 15.45 per cent compared to January 2019. The GTA's average home price increased to $839,363 or 12.34 per cent increase from December 2018.
“The real estate market continues to be driven by an excessive shortage of needed listings with reports of market segments returning to the days of multiple offers. The $500K to $1M segment in all of Halton is in great demand,” says OMDREB President Richard Weima.
