The unit they loved, and why Josh talked them out of it
Tara and Richard wanted a condo their son could live in while studying at UBC, then rent out later. Josh showed them Kitsilano and Ambleside before they chose Yaletown for the commute and a newer building. They nearly bought one unit, but Josh pointed out that once furniture went in, the living room would block the hallways, so they passed. Their first offer at 1009 Expo Boulevard fell apart on price; Josh kept talking with the listing agent, the deal came back together, and they bought for about $580,000. The unit had sold for around $650,000 a few years earlier and had about $50,000 of renovations since.
