This summer, units rotated on and off the market in different circumstances at Granite Place, a more than 40-year-old high-rise community abutting St. Michael’s Cemetery near Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue. For instance, this three-bedroom unit sold for $3.475-million within days, yet one down the hall hovered at $3.75-million for months.

“This condo was strategically priced … taking into consideration the original condition of the suite,” said agent Edward Cassidy. “My sellers were extremely pleased how quickly it sold, especially in such a difficult market.

“There was a unit on the same floor with a similar size that was on the market for 100 days.”

Mr. Cassidy sought to market the property by highlighting its premium size and south-facing views.

“I wanted the unit to be professionally staged and cleaned because, especially in that end of the market, you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression,” Mr. Cassidy said.

“The target audience was a buyer who was downsizing from a large, multilevel home who wanted the spaciousness and feel of a home all on one level,” said Mr. Cassidy.

“The location is very appealing; steps to the subway, shopping and restaurants.”
