Toronto Condominium Market

I liked to go back to what I said about condominium and freehold prices recently. Yes, the price of condo is going low because of oversupply in the market. The price of freehold is going up at least in the prime locations in Toronto. Yes, it is also true that if the freehold price keeps climbing, people will start thinking about a condominium because of condo price and their own budget. It is very possible soon. If you think let me go ahead buy a condo and live in it for now, please do not buy unless you plan to live in it at least for 5 years. There is a possibility of price going even lower in the days to come. There is so much supply of both freehold and condominium in the market right now. Maybe it is because of summer. There are more listings in the summer compared to winter and buyers have more choices in terms of prices and everything else. You even heard from me that it is not a good time to sell the house. But it is also true that real estate is not going to improve in any time soon. The conclusion is do not sell your property unless it is absolutely necessary. No one knows what you need to do better than you yourself! 

Bank of Canada Interest Cuts and Expert Views on Canadian Real Estate Market

How is real estate market after the latest interest cut by the bank of Canada? What do real estate experts say about the interest cut and its aftermath? We find mixed feelings when we listen to those experts in the field. According to The Globe and Mail article, Royal LePage president predicts 'real lift’ in home sales after Bank of Canada cut the interest rate. However, John Pasalis, one of the real estate practitioner and researcher does not think so. He does not think so since there will be any sales increase until next year because right now the interest rate is very high. On the other hand, John Flynn, another real estate practitioner and researcher says that nothing is going to happen after the interest rate cut as whatever had to happen has already happened before the rate cut. Yes, there is a gradual improvement for freeholds right now. It does not mean that the price will drastically go up after the rate cut for the freehold. Condo market is down right now. The sellers of the vacant condo rush to sale and you may get for even low price. And, the buyers are reluctant to buy the rented condo for various reasons. Stay informed and use your rational before you rush to invest in real estate after listening to people.
