Every day, hundreds of properties change hands in Quebec, most without knowing the details. That was before we got interested… Here are the latest deals that caught our eye.
A massive residence in Montreal’s split Westmount borough has just sold for the tidy sum of $11.5 million to two newly formed trusts.
Built in 1948, 118 Upper Bellevue Avenue offers a living area of 340 m2 on several floors with a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area, on a plot twice as large (719.40 m2) near the municipal park. Summit Circle.
The seller, Carrie Kastner, bought this property in the summer of 2014 from Garimdev Investments, a company owned by her general contractor husband, Garry Garbarino. The transaction was concluded at the time for $3.9 million. Garimdev had bought this same house two years earlier for $2,150,000.
At the last appraisal record, this property was assigned a value of $5,695,100. This is an increase of $1.5 million or 35%, compared to its previous value ($4,187,600).
A transfer tax of $170,843, payable to the City of Westmount, is added to the purchase price for buyers.
