The fate

The buyers were living in a condo after moving to Toronto from abroad, and they were looking to upsize. The home’s contemporary architecture, which is relatively uncommon in the neighbourhood, helped convince them to make an offer.

The sale

The home was listed for 10 days. There was only one offer, for $95,000 under asking.
