The fate

The buyers are a couple with two children who moved to Canada from China a few years ago. They had been looking for a new home for about a year when they came across this place, which was suitably extravagant and within the school district they wanted.

The sale

The home was originally listed at $4,499,000, but, when an offer fell through, the sellers did some market analysis and dropped their ask by $500,000. They eventually accepted an offer nearly $350,000 below the new list price.
