Avril Lavigne Having Trouble Selling Her Toronto House – Selling Agent Goes To Media
Singing star Avril Lavigne is selling her Toronto home in the trendy section of CabbageTown, even though homes typically sell very quickly. One wonders if it is a question of the perception of how a 21 year old would decorate her house, which actually is reported to be very suburban, or if there is a stigma attached to buying a home from a pop star.
The 21-year-old rock star is having trouble selling her downtown Toronto home. It has been on the market for 50 days. The asking price has been dropped to $599,000 from $618,000.
This in a city where homes in the most desirable neighbourhoods often last less than a week on the market, and go for tens of thousands over asking when buyers bid against each other.
In what appeared to be a last-ditch attempt, Lavigne’s real estate agent emailed the Toronto Star earlier this week, hoping to arouse media coverage — a name-dropping tactic that he possibly thought too tacky two months ago. via TheStar.com
