After a fruitless search for a downtown loft, agent Christopher Bibby had his clients consider different properties around Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue.

A week after a bidding war over a condominium townhouse in the King and Dufferin area, buyers with rejected offers turned their attention to this nearly identical unit in the same complex, says agent Christopher Bibby.

  Christopher commenting on Toronto City Council's plan to make three bedroom units mandatory.

This ground-level suite has the benefit of a one-of-a-kind layout and location in an eco-friendly building in Roncesvalles Village, says agent Christopher Bibby.

Each unit in the newly built residence, called High Park Lofts, is entered from an interior corridor, yet this 900-square-foot space is one of three with a second street-level entrance.

The 1,257-square-foot unit is one of the largest models in the brick warehouse that was converted into a condominium residence in 2004. “The way the building is laid out is incredible,” the agent says. “No unit … is identical.”

On a one-way street in a residential neighbourhood in the former city of York, this two-storey house is representative of the type of real estate available there, agent Christopher Bibby says.

“The nice thing about that home is that it did go for under $300,000,” he says. “And it was a detached house.”

 There is little turnover in the stacked condominium townhouse community off Strachan Avenue, just south of King Street West, agent Christopher Bibby says.

  Christopher commenting on softer market conditions and pre-construction contracts.

In this 16-storey condominium by the waterfront, large units are usually located on higher floors and oriented toward Lake Ontario. The bulk of the one-bedroom units, on the other hand, face the Gardiner Expressway or a parking garage next door, according to agent Christopher Bibby.

Agent Christopher Bibby says this corner suite with two bedrooms and a den is one of only two units with an 848-square-foot plan in the Matrix towers, which are part of the downtown CityPlace development.

On the third floor of the twin towers' four-storey podium, its most attractive feature is a master suite measuring more than 225 square feet.

The major selling points of this one-bedroom stacked townhouse in the Windermere by the Lake condominium community are outside the unit, according to agent Christopher Bibby. As examples, he cites its large outdoor space and underground parking spot.
