The action
This one-bedroom suite near Exhibition Place was listed after Labour Day, which usually kicks off a busy house-hunting season.Jordan Prussky Photography/Jordan Prussky Photography
This one-bedroom suite near Exhibition Place was listed after Labour Day, which usually kicks off a busy house-hunting season. But, with a dip in the market, few buyers showed interest and the ones that did inquire about it struggled to book tours around the tenant’s schedule. It was relaunched twice for $599,900, the second time after the tenant moved out and stylish furniture was moved in to stage the space attractively. A week into the new year, a buyer came forward and negotiated a deal for $575,000.
“We made a reduction in price in October to $599,900, but I never felt the price was the issue,” agent Christopher Bibby said. “In December, that’s when a lot of things were starting to turn around.”
“We didn’t have any immediate competition in the building, but a lot of competition in the area had either come off because of market conditions or went for lease, so it opened up an opportunity for us.”

The unit includes a storage locker and parking. Monthly fees of $498 cover the cost of water, heating and use of recreational facilities.

“It’s a classic building with large fitness facilities, guest suites, and an indoor pool, which you typically see in larger towers and complexes, so it’s amenity rich,” Mr. Bibby said.
“The layouts in this era [of building] made a lot more sense whereas now, the standard one-bedroom [unit] is a lot smaller.”
