First visitor to Edmonton semi pens offer $100 over list price

Published on

The property at 10436 145 St. N.W., Edmonton, recently sold for a price slightly over its asking price, indicating a still robust real estate market. The first visitor to the semi-detached home penned an offer of $650,000, which was $100 over the list price of $649,900. This transaction underscores the high demand for desirable properties in mature, well-established neighborhoods.

Details of the Property Sale

The property was listed by Clare Packer from Re/Max Excellence and was on the market for just one day in November 2025, with taxes at $5,840 for the year. The quick sale points to the high-quality buyers prevalent at this time of year, as Ms. Packer explains, “In November/December, we find there are fewer showings and fewer buyers out looking. But the quality of the buyer is super high because it’s not a fun time to be house shopping.”

Strategic Timing and Location

Listing a property during these lower inventory months can be a strategic move due to reduced competition. The home, located one kilometer north of MacKinnon Ravine, is in a community that’s well-established with mature, tree-lined boulevards. It’s close to downtown and the LRT expansion, which contributes to the property’s appeal. “You get the nice newness of being new construction, but it’s in a community that’s well established,” says Ms. Packer.

About the Home

The seven-year-old semi-detached home boasts 1,593 square feet of living space, a private yard, and a double garage on a roughly 22-by-142-foot lot. It features living and dining areas on the main floor, with a kitchen that provides access to a deck. The second level houses a laundry room and three bedrooms, one of which comes with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a private bathroom. Additional bathrooms are located on each floor, including the basement, which also has a bedroom and a recreational area.

Real Estate Agent’s Insight

Ms. Packer views the property as an attractive option for buyers looking at the upper end of the entry-level market. She comments, “It showed beautifully,” pointing out that demand is high for new constructions like this one in mature neighborhoods. The majority of the houses in this neighborhood are 1950s-style bungalows, which typically sell in the $400,000 to $500,000 range.
