Really hoping to hear something soon especially when all you hear is the market is booming. Really frustrating when the market booms and your place is not selling.

It has everything too

Granite, in suite laundry, fire place, private balcony, and the building has an elevator (rare for the older condo buildings in that neighborhood)
it's a two faced market. Stuff that people really want sells for above asking in seconds and stuff that doesn't stand out as something special can tend to sit for a while unless priced aggressively. Ask yourself, is your building concrete, does it have underground parking, do you have a good view, etc. Chances are in Sunnyside you don't because the only new buildings are Pixel and St Johns and most others are older wood frame. Also people are still skittish about the flood even though a lot of places in sunnyside didn't get any flood damage.
