In this episode, David explores five Toronto condos that leave him asking the same question: why haven’t these sold? Despite one of the toughest condo markets the city has experienced in years, these listings stand out as opportunities that seem surprisingly overlooked.
David examines five properties as he climbs the price ladder, staring with a property in the $400,000’s, then a property in the $500,000’s, into the $600,000’s, $700,000’s, and lastly, a property in the the $800,000’s, just to provide market context, across the board. He shares perspective on pricing, parking, neighbourhoods, replacement cost, and why trying to perfectly time the bottom of the market may not be the strategy many buyers think it is.
This week’s picks:
- 01:08 – 38 Stewart St #507: A one-bedroom at the Thompson Residences in the heart of King West, listed at $395,000. Despite lacking parking or a locker, this true one-bedroom in a highly sought-after area represents remarkable value compared to replacement cost and previous market highs
- 04:28 – 88 Colgate Ave #612: A stylish Leslieville condo with parking in one of the neighbourhood’s most desirable mid-rise buildings. David discusses why the location, functional layout, outdoor space, and included parking make this listing particularly difficult to understand in today’s market
- 08:46 – 478 King St W: A spacious King West one-bedroom with parking offering over 650 square feet in a well-known downtown building. Having sold near the height of the market for substantially more, David uses this property to illustrate how dramatically condo values have shifted
- 13:56 – 426 Queen St E: A stunning brick-and-beam hard loft featuring soaring ceilings, exposed brick, timber beams, and nearly 800 square feet of authentic character. While the surrounding neighbourhood presents challenges for some buyers, the loft itself makes this one of the city’s best overlooked opportunities
- 18:28 – 68 Broadview Ave #510: One of David’s favourite lofts in Toronto. Located in the iconic Broadview Lofts, this beautifully curated space combines authentic industrial architecture, parking, and incredible design character
If you’re considering buying a condo or just curious where today’s market may offer unexpected value, this Pick 5 is for you.
