This unit is asking far less than comparable sales — and its own listing says why: it is a live/work loft, measured against ordinary residential condos. A gap that size is largely the property type, not equity you would own, so we do not publish a market score for it. Check the permitted use and what a lender will do with it before treating the discount as a bargain.
