In this episode of the Toronto Real Estate Podcast, Ralph Fox, Kori Marin, and Jessica Spillas unpack four recent Fox Marin sales that tell a very different story from the headlines. From a King West loft that outperformed despite “condo Armageddon,” to a midtown family home that drew over 100 people to its open house, to a Trinity Bellwoods property that required a bold pricing strategy, and finally, a waterfront condo townhouse that sold with just four showings, these case studies offer a real deal look at today’s market.

We cover what worked, what didn’t, and how strategic pricing, exceptional presentation, and strong representation can make all the difference! You’ll also hear our predictions for the Fall 2025 market and what buyers and sellers should realistically expect in the months to come!
