The read on Tansley
What's moving. TRREB reports two home types here: condo townhouses, down 3.6% in a year, and condo apartments, down 7.6%. The overall figure is measured separately and can differ from the types.
The pace. Homes sold for 99% of asking on average this spring, tied for the highest share in the city. But 38 homes for sale at the end of June were over four months of supply, more than most areas.
What it means. It has the lowest typical price in Burlington. The median sale was $800,000, well above that, because of the mix of homes that happened to sell.
What to watch. An application at 4030 Upper Middle Road is in city review. Appleby GO is about 4 km away.
The market
