The history

The seller, a professional real estate stager with Trust Staging, has been in this 2012 building for several years, but she needed more space for her growing family. She’s moving into a two-bedroom unit elsewhere in the same tower.

The fate

The buyer is a young woman. She managed to secure a quick closing: she’ll move in this Friday, just two weeks after the sale.

The sale

In part because the building is battling a years-old bedbug rumour, the units are on the affordable side. The seller rejected two bully offers, which were conditional and too low. Five more offers came in on offer day, of which three were competitive. After one round of improvements, the seller accepted the highest one, at $52,000 over asking.

By the numbers

• $451,000 • $2,380.39 in taxes (2017) • 670 square feet • 7 days on MLS • 2 bathrooms • 1 bedroom
