After sitting on the market for nine months, the condo finally sold, but for much less than Kessel was likely expecting.<\/p>\n<p>In July of last year, it was first listed for $4.1 million, before being lowered to $3.89 million later that year. It finally sold for $3,325,000, $565,000 below asking. And while that should feel like a slapshot to the face, he did buy the condo in 2009 for $3.15 million, so he still made a profit of $175,000, (peanuts to a hockey player who makes millions\u00a0each year.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did it take so long? \/ Why didn&#8217;t he come close to the asking price?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luxury condos are funny creatures. While this isn&#8217;t the extreme top of the condo market, it&#8217;s far above the average condo sale of $416,251 (March 2016). While many condos above $2 million are still selling well, not all are appealing to that market.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that\u00a0price is only drawing a small selection of buyers, and the decor and furniture appeals to a subsection\u00a0of\u00a0that. The furnishings are perfect for a single, male hockey player, but don&#8217;t attract\u00a0many others. Staging is typically more neutral and less gendered, so that decor could have turned off some homebuyers.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the condo is a fantastic space. It&#8217;s massive with two terraces and a host of perks, and can be remodelled to suit the new owners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out photos of the space in our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/phil-kessels-condo-is-for-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\">original post<\/a> about his condo!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flickr: <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/4CQqKF\" target=\"_blank\">Amanda<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just over two months ago, we wrote about Phil Kessel\u2014the superstar former Maple Leaf\u2014and his luxury condo.
