The ultimate guide to condominium real estate data in Ontario. Top 4 housing market analysts crunch the numbers and spit them out.

Introduction

Welcome to the Ontario condominium real estate data segment of my condo home library, the Condorary.

You may agree that most investment analysis seems to cover real estate in Canada as a whole excluding condominium housing. The Ontario outlook is mainly on the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Ottawa where the largest numbers of condominiums are found. You might find searching the real estate listings in other provincial areas can act as reasonable housing market guidelines.

Move Smartly Report: April 2021

Most discussions about investor behaviour in Toronto’s condo market focus on the number of investors entering the market at any given point in time.  We rarely see any commentary or analysis on the number of investors exiting the market by selling their units and how that might change from one year to the next.
