3 w. ago Toronto house with visible holes in roof still expected to fetch $700,000

A Toronto home at 37 Allister Ave. has been in rough shape since 2018, when it sold for $777,000 — sight basically unseen.Back then, potential buyers weren't even allowed inside. The listing stated that viewings were limited to "walking the lot" with the agent, and that's probably what the buyers did since they never managed to do anything with the derelict three-bedroom, three-bathroom home.Eventually, they gave up on the house and sold it at a loss in 2024 for $750,000.The front of the house. Now, a year later, the property is in even worse condition.

Clearly, that d...
