How is the Toronto condo market?

Despite a decline in the real estate south of the border, the market continues to hold its own locally – and that includes new and existing condominiums. An online search reveals a number of new developments to consider in up-and-coming communities. It might be a completely new development or it may be a retrofit – a former apartment complex rental or business location given a complete renovation to attract a whole new set of homeowners. Which one do you choose? Regardless, a real estate professional can help to narrow your search and negotiate on your behalf when it comes to signing on the dotted line.

Condos are different than houses – and so are the questions you will have to ask. Not only are you buying the unit, but you will have a stake in the entire building, including the building’s common elements and amenities. You must also look at the mix of owners, location and how it impacts your lifestyle and the services and amenities offered such as security, parking and property management.

Why use a realtor?

Some homeowners are only too quick to put up a home-made “For Sale By Owner” sign to drum up interest in their property. The do-it-yourself trend may be all the rage but it often does not translate well to the condo market. Rely on the experts to get your condo listing out in circulation and match your home with potential buyers. Without that exposure, not to mention the expert advice, your property may be on the market 10 to 15 times longer! And that can mean a lower market value the longer the unit remains unsold.

Have you already started your search and find that you’re too late to secure your offer on a new condo? That’s because many listings are months on the market even before it’s released to the general public. In fact, 50 per cent of new condo developments are sold before Joe Buyer finds out about it. Your real estate agent will push you to the front of the line and get you in front of the development agent when the buying is good.

And, while price tags on new condo developments are not negotiable, payment schedules, upgrades and closing costs are – all of these arrangements can be handled by your agent, who has no interest in any one development but will show you the best units for your budget and lifestyle.

Your real estate specialist works for you. Can you imagine the time it would take an average person to do their homework on potential sites, research the area and search out the actual listings? And that’s even before you step foot inside the condo. Real estate agents do the homework for you. They have the time, experience and resources to match buyer and seller. Whether you’re buying or selling, you are their full-time commitment.
