Theatre Park - Condo in Front Roy Thomson Hall Toronto |
Talk about price shock. Condo Prices continue to rise in
downtown Toronto. The average price for a condo in the downtown core now sits
at an average of $380,000 dollars. Although that is the average price you can
get far better bang for your buck at pre-construction pricing on new
developments. Or you could end up paying far more for larger condos in more
exclusive developments or those condos in premier areas such as the
Harbourfront or Yorkville.
The most expensive condo ever sold was recorded at the
height of the condo boom, when the top floor condo at the Four Seasons Hotel
and Residence sold for some $30 million dollars.
In addition to the high prices the supply of Condos in the
downtown core is also been restricted by developers pulling back product due to
the downturn in sales over the past few years as condo sales cooled and
everyone watched what federal and local authorities would do to cool the rising
condo market sales, construction and prices.
Condo prices in Toronto have been
rising at an average of about 2% over the past two years despite the slowdown
in sales and the related developer pullback of product. Although the Bank of Montreal and Genworth
Canada Financial have both predicted that the Toronto condo market will cool
further, price appreciation is still expected.
