This sale may be headed for the record books. A Coquitlam home sold for well over asking but a balanced market is predicted for spring as more homes are listed for sale.

A home in Coquitlam’s Ranch Park neighbourhood made local real estate history earlier this month.

The 4,000 sq. ft. home at 2975 Lazy A St. sold for $500,000 over asking in a bidding war that lasted a single day.

And Sutton Group West Coast realtor Jaden Narduzzi still can’t believe what happened.

“We thought we’d priced it pretty sharp and didn’t expect a sale price this crazy,” recalled Narduzzi.

The 55-year-old, six bedroom renovated home on a 13,000 sq. ft. lot — with a ground heated pool — was listed for $2.799 million on Feb. 28 and Narduzzi had several showings for later in the week.
