The action

The Hammersmith is a low-rise condo townhouse building with street-level retail shops on Queen Street East and private residences above with one- to three-bedroom plans. Agent Jenelle Cameron hoped her client’s two-storey, two-bedroom unit would stand out, especially since the last similar unit sold in 2023.

“It’s a very unique, coveted complex,” Ms. Cameron said, “and usually when units come up, they sell pretty fast.”

Pricing the unit proved difficult. “At $899,900, we thought we’d try it out, but it was too high,” Ms. Cameron said.

The asking price was reduced in $50,000 increments several times, but it only managed to get a few buyers through the doors over the winter. Finally, in late spring one visitor made an offer and cut a deal at $680,000.

“The condo market is so strange,” Ms. Cameron said.

“I’ve had some [properties] that get tons of showings and no offers. And I get some that get no showings and no offers. You just don’t know what you’re going to get.”

What they got

On the second floor of a more than 30-year-old building on busy Queen Street East, this unit has its front entrance off a private terrace facing a common internal courtyard at the rear of the building.

At the south end of the main floor, the living and dining area has windows and a balcony overlooking Queen Street East.

There is an updated eat-in kitchen, bathrooms on each floor and a laundry room between the bedrooms upstairs.

The unit has a storage locker and one parking space underground. Monthly fees of $1,690 include water.

The agent’s take

“This is really a prime Beach [location],” Ms. Cameron said.

“It has a balcony and a big, giant terrace, almost like having your own backyard.”
