A million-dollar sale that took place in Toronto\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/entertainment-district-toronto-on\/new-homes\">Entertainment District<\/a> this week has made that point abundantly clear.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Unit 3504 at 8 Charlotte Street <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.ca\/on\/toronto\/8-Charlotte-St-M5V-2J5\/unit-3504\/home\/158990611\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">sold slightly under<\/a> its $1,025,000 asking price for $1,015,000. Although a condo selling in the million-dollar range isn\u2019t uncommon, the sale of this particular one-bedroom condo suite listed by PSR Brokerage is a defining moment for the market, explains Andrew la Fleur, a sales representative with RE\/MAX Condos Plus <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndrewLaFleur\/status\/1372605036946149380\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">who tweeted about<\/a> the sale.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cSelling a one bedroom condo for over $1 million is a significant moment in the history of the Toronto condo market,\u201d la Fleur told <em>Livabl<\/em>. \u201cWhile there\u2019s nothing special about the price per se, it\u2019s more about the psychological barrier of a buyer willing to pay over $1 million, or seven figures, for a condo that only has one bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>La Fleur explains that just a few years ago, it would be extremely rare for any condo in the city to sell over the $1 million price point. Traditionally, a seven-figure sold price was reserved for luxury buildings and suites bought and sold in neighbourhoods like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/yorkville-toronto-on\/new-homes\">Yorkville<\/a>, he said. According to market\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.ca\/on\/toronto\/8-Charlotte-St-M5V-2J5\/unit-3504\/home\/158990611\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">data available on Redfin<\/a>,\u00a0the unit was last sold in December 2018 for\u00a0$875,000, $36,000 over its asking price at the time of $839,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe price per square foot of over $1,300 is pretty high, but actually nothing too crazy,\u201d la Fleur said. \u201cWe certainly have seen units selling at a higher price per square foot, but it\u2019s more just about that psychological barrier of $1 million being broken for a one-bedroom unit in a non-luxury building.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"see-more-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"See Also\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/livabl\/images\/see-also-cta-icon.svg\"\/>\r\n          <strong><span>SEE ALSO:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2021\/03\/canadian-home-price-growth-accelerates-teranet.html\"  area-label=\"Canadian home price growth accelerates again after 3 months of slowing: Teranet\">Canadian home price growth accelerates again after 3 months of slowing: Teranet<\/a><\/strong>\r\n        <\/div>\n<p>In its latest market report, the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2021\/03\/toronto-home-sales-record-february-condo-market.html\">highlighted the continued sales growth<\/a> that the city\u2019s condo segment has been recording starting in late 2020. In February, the condominium apartment segment posted a 63 percent annual increase in sales within the \u2018416\u2019 region. While condo prices in Toronto\u2019s core were down 6.4 percent year-over-year last month, soaring sales and tighter supply could push prices up in the second half of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[I]f we continue to see growth in condo sales outstrip growth in new condo listings in Toronto, renewed price growth in this market segment is a distinct possibility in the second half of the year,\u201d said Jason Mercer, TRREB\u2019s Chief Market Analyst, in the most recent market report.<\/p>\n<p>With so much pent-up demand for downtown condo units at the moment, la Fleur predicts that we\u2019ll see a lot more one-bedroom units sell over the $1 million mark within the next three to six months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[T]he buyer of this unit will probably be very happy with the price that they paid in just a very short period of time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div id='pressboard-ad-sponsorship-msg'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A million-dollar sale that took place in
