Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $825/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Cabbagetown market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Market Position
At 25 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.

Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Cabbagetown properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,125 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
