Deep dives
Current State of Toronto's Condo Market
The Toronto condo market is currently facing unprecedented challenges, with a significant surplus of listings leading to unprecedented slow sales. A notable factor driving this situation is the increasing number of sellers, particularly investors looking to offload properties amidst rising interest rates and stagnating prices. Condominiums are now sitting on the market longer, with current listings estimated to require six to seven months to sell, compared to the usual three to four months. This trend underscores a disconnect between the supply of condos and buyer willingness to invest, with many potential homebuyers being priced out of the market.
