There has been a jaw-dropping bidding war for a well-kept semi-detached home at 512 Balliol Street. The home sits midway between Bayview Ave and Mt Pleasant Rd. It sold last week for $954,000. This was a premium of $155,000 over the listing price of $799,00 set by the owners Michael and Carly Telpner. They were looking at bids of $950,000. $951,000 and $954,000 as the dust settled that night. They did the decent thing. Some might have held out for another round but as Mr. Telpner told the Globe and Mail: “I didn’t want to be obnoxious. I didn’t want someone to lose out over $2,000 or $3,000, but that was the process we laid out.”
