You negotiated $100,000 off the asking price. Cong You negotiated $100,000 off the asking price. Congratulations! But did you actually get a deal?

That’s the question more buyers should be asking.

A seller can ask whatever they want for a property. That doesn’t mean it’s worth that amount.

And negotiating a big discount doesn’t automatically make it a smart purchase.

The real question isn’t how much you saved off the asking price.

It’s whether you paid the right price for the property in the first place.

That’s where understanding comparable sales, current competition and long-term resale value becomes so important.

Because winning the negotiation and making a good investment aren’t always the same thing.

A 700 sq. ft. condo can feel smaller than a 600 sq A 700 sq. ft. condo can feel smaller than a 600 sq. ft. condo. And sometimes, the smaller one is actually worth more.

Sounds backwards, doesn't it?

When buyers compare Toronto condos, one of the first things they look at is price per square foot.

And while it's an important number, it doesn't always tell you what you're really getting for your money.

I've walked into condos that looked like incredible deals on paper but felt overpriced the moment I stepped inside.

And I've seen others with a higher price per square foot that offered significantly better value.

The difference? It's often hiding in the things buyers overlook.

In my latest article, I break down what actually makes a Toronto condo feel expensive, why some smaller suites live better than larger ones, and what I'd pay attention to before making an offer.

Because the cheapest condo isn't always the best deal.

Getting approved for $1.2M doesn’t mean you have a Getting approved for $1.2M doesn’t mean you have a $1.2M budget.

There’s a number the bank says you can spend.

Then there’s the number that lets you buy the right home and still live the life you want after you get the keys.

Those are two very different conversations.

A good buying strategy doesn’t start with, “What’s the most I can afford?”

It starts with, “What am I actually comfortable spending?”

That’s the number I want my buyers to know before we start looking.

The best-looking home isn’t always the best home t The best-looking home isn’t always the best home to buy.

Buyers naturally notice the kitchen. The floors. The bathrooms. The appliances. The paint.
I’m usually looking at something else.

The location.
The lot.
The light.
The layout.
The exposure.
The school district.

And what the next buyer is likely to think when it’s eventually time to sell.

Because you can change almost anything about a home. But some things you’re buying forever.

That’s why I encourage buyers to separate preferences from non-negotiables before they start seriously shopping.

Be flexible about the things you can change. Be much more careful about compromising on the things you can’t.

In my latest article, I break down how I think buyers should evaluate those trade-offs — and why some “imperfect” homes can actually be much better purchases than the ones that show beautifully.

Sometimes the best advice I can give a client is n Sometimes the best advice I can give a client is not to buy the house.

Not because it’s a bad house.
Not because someone else shouldn’t buy it.

But because it isn’t the right house for you.
There will always be another house.

Some buyers want condo living. They just don’t wan Some buyers want condo living. They just don’t want a condo-sized life.

And that’s exactly why I wanted to show you this one.

Suite 1214 at 270 Dufferin gives you the things that can be surprisingly hard to find together in a Toronto condo: proper living space, separation between the bedrooms, somewhere to work, room to entertain — and an outdoor space you’ll actually use.

Inside, there’s 1,029 sq. ft. wrapped in windows, with two bedrooms + den, two bathrooms and a bright northwest corner exposure.

Outside?

Another 318 sq. ft. on a west-facing terrace with room to dine, lounge and watch some pretty incredible sunsets over the city and lake.

It’s beautifully kept. Thoughtfully laid out. Parking and a locker are included.

And it might just change what you think condo living has to look like.
