The action

The investor owner of this one-bedroom unit was told the tenants would not renew their lease and decided that market conditions would make it easier to find a buyer than another renter. The seller turned down offers around the $630,000 mark, but days later accepted a bid of $645,000.

“Knowing the rental market was a little soft and the sale market was strong, they decided to go with listing it for sale,” said agent Scott Shallow.

“The unit presented well, both in person and in the digital realm, which drove a lot of traffic and resulted in a successful sale.”

This model “is the best one-bedroom unit in the building,” Mr. Shallow said.

“It’s a wide, shallow, south-facing unit with 30 feet of floor-to-ceiling windows and a 172-square-foot balcony.”

“Blonde hardwood floors, gas cooking in the kitchen, a gas barbecue outlet on the balcony, quartz countertops and details, like tiled-in bathtubs, provide a more custom than cookie-cutter feel.”
