Based on the record of previous sales early this year, this two-bedroom corner suite at the Modern building on Richmond was priced at $650,000 in anticipation of buyers pushing it upwards of $750,000 on the offer date. But one shopper went further, trumping other shoppers with a $157,500 markup to secure a deal mid-March.

“In this market, people don’t really want to compete, even for a nice unit, so as soon as they hear there are more than four offers, so they don’t show up,” said agent Louis Chaffringeon, who was still left with several bidders.

“There was nothing for sale at that time in the building. … So we sold for a bit above $1,000 per square foot, which was a first for the building.”

“It’s one of the nicest newer condos in that area … and it has a striking design and a very wide rooftop terrace with gorgeous views of the downtown skyline,” Mr. Chaffringeon said.

“It’s a gorgeous southeast corner unit with lots of windows, so you have light all day long and two good sized bedrooms, which is ideal for a single person who has company for a week or a couple who want to have a kid.”
