The full record.

How this listing prices against Lakeshore/Parkdale.

Lakeshore/Parkdale recorded 8 sales and 56 active listings, so buyers currently have substantial choice relative to recent deal flow. The average sale price was $737,169, below the Waterloo average, but homes sold in 21 days and at 97.09% of list, which is firmer than the inventory count alone would suggest. All completed sales were freeholds, while condo listings remain plentiful without any recent closings. That leaves the neighbourhood split between a functioning detached market and a condo segment still waiting for momentum.
