It’s January 21, 2019! What’s going on with condos?
Condo market has picked up in last 18-24 months.
Many large new condo buildings were “delayed” in the 2015-2016 range. Some are coming back now.
Bus strike in ’08/’09 seems to have led more younger buyers to consider their housing choices more deeply. Many decided to come closer to the core.
Centretown got busy and then price jumped…led to Hintonburg effect (LINK)…
Two years ago condos were generally selling under previous sale price.
Newer and older condo units now selling MUCH faster.
MPAC showed the reductions as well.
What’s going to happen this year with Condos?
