Some homes in Toronto are being listed for $1. Here's why
Some properties in the Greater Toronto Area are being listed for $1 — a meagre price tag compared to the latest data on the average selling price, which was $1.1 million in April, according to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board. Article content Article content Most recently, two adjacent homes in the East Danforth area were listed for a loonie, as was a lot in the Englemount-Lawrence neighbourhood that gives buyers the opportunity to build a detached house, with approved permits, drawings and development charges, according to the listing. Article content Article content A vacant lot in Cabbagetown also comes with a $1 price tag. It has approved zoning for four storeys and is 'a rare and exciting opportunity for investors and developers,' the listing says. Article content 'It tends to come up when sellers and agents have run out of more conventional ways to attract attention to their listing,' he told National Post over email on Tuesday. Article content 'Another time when you are likely to see this strategy is when the objective value is very hard to determine,' he said, pointing out that the listings in the East Danforth, Englemount-Lawrence and Cabbagetown areas fall into that category. Article content 'One is a vacant lot downtown, so the value is entirely in the eyes (and wallet) of the beholder — generally depending on what they plan to do with the space,' he said, referring to Cabbagetown. Article content Per the listing, the lot is located in the heart of Toronto's bustling downtown and is 'just steps away from leading universities, colleges, and hospitals.' It is 'ideally situated to meet the growing demand for student housing, micro-suites, or high-demand downtown living rentals.' Article content Article content As for the East Danforth area listing, Powell said the combined address of two connected sides of a semi being together is 'quite unusual.' Article content Article content 'The value for that could be quite different from the simple combination of each property value on its own,' he said. Article content The listing reads: 'Imagine the possibilities: live in one and generate income by renting the other, or create a multi-generational family residence.' Article content The Englemount-Lawrence lot comes with plans for a house, so 'you are buying the lot, as well as all the plans, permits… the value of which is very personal.' Article content 'The $1 price tag is kind of like saying 'or best offer' without having to commit to an arbitrary bracket. I still feel that more often than not, $1 listings are about attracting attention to unusual properties — heritage homes, unique properties,' said Powell.
