THE WORLD is ENDING in 2012 - Do you want to DIE a LOFT Virgin?
Thu, 09/09/2010 - 23:23 — MrLOFTA couple of months ago I had a conversation with a prospective client who had decided to scrap his condo/loft search as he had recently learned about Nostradamus and his predictions regarding the world coming to an end very soon. He felt it made sense, what with mounting tensions in Korea, Iraq and Iran and the supposed likelihood of a nuclear war being on the cards. Hehe. He felt this catastrophic turn of events would end society as we know it in 2012. For me, this excuse was a first, and even my sizeable textbook of 'smart-ass' answers did not have a response.
CANDY FACTORY OWNER LEAVES $50K ON THE TABLE - HIRE A PRO INSTEAD OF A SCHMO!
Mon, 05/03/2010 - 16:18 — MrLOFTRecently a LOFT at the Candy Factory was listed well below market value, occasionally agents do this to attract multiple offers. The asking price was very attractive compared to recent sales of similar units. One of the closest comparables was my last sale of unit #320 which sold for $534K - it was 80 sq.ft. smaller, on a lower floor with a less attractive view. Never-the-less, the offer day came and only one offer arrived. Instead of re-listing or increasing the price appropriatly they still sold the property for asking.

TORONTO LOFT MARKET REPORT - MARCH 12TH 2010
Fri, 03/12/2010 - 01:00 — MrLOFTThe Toronto Loft market continues to enjoy impressive growth as we move towards the close of the first quarter of 2010. A shortage of available inventory has been the dominating condition of the past few months, with many units experiencing multiple offers and short selling periods. This strong market has been fuelled by the continuing availability of finance rates at 10-year lows as well as the returning confidence in the economy.
$94000 Dollar Reason NOT to Sell Your LOFT on Craigslist or Propertysold.ca
Tue, 11/24/2009 - 09:02 — MrLOFTTRUE STORY - In the summer of 2009, I contacted a private seller at the Candy Factory who posted her LOFT on a couple well known for-sale-by-owner websites. Her price was extremely attractive at $449,000 (I assume willynilly appraisal services assisted her in setting the price). After contacting the seller it was clear she wanted nothing to do with a Realtor--this seller was a lawyer who thought she knew it all. I will note she did offer an insulting commission should I bring her a buyer.
