The action
About 20 buyers toured this 1,166-square-foot suite, undeterred by the extra steps and special financing required to purchase a unit in a co-op building. With few other options in the low-rise buildings hugging the Rosedale Ravine, it received two bids and sold $17,000 shy of the list price.

“It was a time when there wasn’t really anything for sale, so we capitalized on that,” said agent Andrew Ipekian.
“The nice thing about a co-op is you get a lot more space than you would in a traditional condo. But financing is a lot more challenging than a traditional condo. As well, you need to go through an interview process to be accepted into the building.”
The galley was updated to include tile flooring and stainless steel appliances.

The agent’s take
“A lot of people [visiting] live in Rosedale already or were familiar with living in such a great neighbourhood and wanted to stay,” Mr. Ipekian said.
“Compared to newer condos being built today, this gives them a generous amount of space and feeling like their current home they were transitioning out of.
