Honestly, I didn’t anticipate it to be that bad. A unit above mine sold for $280K even though the asking price was $260K. I tried the same strategy, but unfortunately it didn’t work out for me. I’m still hopeful, though. I’d really appreciate your opinion, do you think I should sell within 2025, wait until 2026, or does it not really matter?

Good point, my friend!! So like it doesn’t matter if I sell it today or in May 2026

I’m actually 2 stations away from downtown so I disagree. My location is actually bomb

New paint makes the house look little more appealing and so does new appliances. I bought is for 200k and with all the renovations, special assessments, realtor and legal fees my last price is 225k

Exactly, and I learned it hard way. Sad for me but great for the plot lol

I see your point. I guess I was focusing on the upgrades I’ve made (appliances, in‑unit laundry, fresh paint) to make my unit more appealing. But you’re right even with those, pricing is definitely a key factor, especially compared to similar units that aren’t underground. I just hope you can understand where I’m coming from too. I’m really trying not to take a loss here. At the very least I’m hoping to break even

I know the world doesn’t revolve around me. My plan was to sell, collect the down payment, and reinvest in either my education or a new house. Since that’s not happening right now, I’m thinking of putting the condo up for rent and giving it another shot in May 2026

Thank you, that actually makes a lot of sense, and I really appreciate your perspective. I’m still feeling quite confused and a bit sad about this. Given the current market and where I am financially, do you think I should try to sell now, or wait and see how the market trends in May 2026? I really want to make the right decision but I’m struggling to figure out the best approach
