Condominiums continue to be hot sellers in Toronto. While the market for single family homes show signs of cooling, the condo market continues to be relatively strong – particular when it comes to luxury condos. In Toronto, condo units priced between $2 million and $4 million saw a 12% gain in the number of sales in 2018, according to the latest data from the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). This means that condos continue to be a good investment – either as a primary residence or rental property.
And the condo market promises to remain red hot in 2019 with a number of new and exciting developments coming online throughout the city. Whether you want to live downtown among the hustle and bustle or further out close to green spaces, there is a new condo development to suit your needs and tastes, as well as your budget. Price ranges for condos vary, making them affordable on any salary. Here are five upcoming developments you should know about:
