This Condo Problem Will Only Get Worse (GTA Condo Real Estate Market Update)

Couple years back people in industry THOUGHT that WE CAN NEVER GO TO 2018 PRICE and now HERE WE ARE!

[@Jancan20]

Where are the 2018 prices

[@the_ikiru]

It's precon. They overpaid in 2018.

[@parthppatel28]

@@the_ikiru if someone overpays then doesn't or become the benchmark for the rest? I thought that's how these prices went up. 1 f0ol pays and population is expected to live upto that fo0l..

[@raulsardinas2584]

yes, closed to 2018 for downtown condos, but every other type of house is way higher than 2018 levels, they are at mid 2021 levels, and very distant from, let's say, mid 2020 levels.

[@raulsardinas2584]

my friends bought a property for 700K at 1.59% in mid 2020. That same townhouse today costs about 900K at 4.1%, you end up paying 70% more in monthly payments for the same house only 4 years later

[@Stormshfter]

The top 10% based on size, location and better building will be more sheltered from a downturn for sure. But with 20,000 more units set to complete over the next 18 months. I have zero optimism for the condo market as a whole.

[@panographiximageservices3147]

You’re also ovelooking the interest cost in the loss equation. Remember, in a front loaded mortgage most of the payment goes towards servicing interest not principal. If a seller sold at the same price they purchased 5 years previous, most of their payments are gone.

Nobody is Paying $1,200/Ft... $1,000/ft .... or even $600/ft for a concrete sh*thole in the sky ? If "investors" are so smart let them live in it !

The going rate for condos less than 10 years ago was $400 a foot. That was not cheap. This meltdown is going to be in the news very soon. Then the fear takes over. It’s going to get ugly.

You 100 percent correct but government keeping that crazy prices by massive immigration. People have to live somewhere so investors didn't loose much. Prices will go down but not dramatically...

[@dirtlump]

@@oleksandrshyiatyi6826 The biggest falsehood is that immigration increases GDP..... increasing immigration can NOT increase gdp when applied into an already stagnant 10+ years Canadian gdp/gdi(gross domestic income) derivable economic metric that has become reliant upon no more than Debt instrument expansion in maintanance of aforementioned already stagnant 10+ years gdp.... and very simply because the equally stagnant gdi is FINITE intending merely smaller pieces of that FINITE derivable 'income' pie for all.... albeit, competition increases as standards of living decrease in aggregate suggestive to productivity growth. You've been lied to.... rents will drop as you can't get blood from a stone and intending the current rent strikes/LTB backlogs/Condo project failures/receiverships and lowering rents heading into Real Estate deflation are merely symptomatic of increasingly negative societal factors ro revenue income strategies.

My point being..... and no doubt about it I've been fortunate in life.... but suffice to say I always had a knack for spotting a loser ? especially a fomo 'frenzied' loser = the CONDO 'investment' market which has been stink'in to high heaven for awhile now ?

I did some stats on my watchlist. It's now up to 120 entries, mostly 1 and 1+1 bedroom condos downtown. I identified 3 groups of sellers. All numbers are rounded-off medians: The deluded sellers started at $650K and lowered their prices to $590K before giving up. They were on the market for 110 days. The hopeful sellers started at $590K and have lowered their prices to $570K. They are still trying after 70 days. The practical sellers started at $570K and sold at $530K after 90 days. I'm just looking at numbers, though. I'd love to hear what insights you've got into the psychology of different groups of sellers from actually talking to them.

@@teamsessa I asked Chatgpt: The estimated total preconstruction condo sales values for each year in Toronto (GTA) were: 2018: $16.8 billion. 2019: $18.48 billion. 2020: $23.76 billion. 2021: $32.03 billion. 2022: $33.14 billion.

[@Huckleberry_Sid]

I hate to say it, but there's gotta be a loss somewhere. Housing prices just can't keep going up and up without there being a commensurate increase in people's wages. Either the market has to correct downwards so that housing is affordable again, or people's wages need to increase massively. The situation we have now is utterly untenable, and is in many ways contributing to the current economic woes we all have.

[@edhutch8946]

these over priced garbage condos will have value at 1/3 of the price.

[@jeffotoole4509]

Best news I heard all day. How about condos bought at $1500-1700-2000 how does that work? I only have one question? Who takes the loses? It had better not be the taxpayer.

[@parthppatel28]

People who invested should take the losses. If you bought the shares that went down in value, you pay for it and no one else would or should..

[@jeffotoole4509]

@@parthppatel28 I agree. I have lost plenty of money in shares. No one came to the door and said let’s make you whole sir. I just have no idea what happens when peoples homes get deleveraged to make up loses on investment properties gone south. This is going to get ugly quick. I am not sure a conservative government will be in the business of bailing out speculators. The drama teacher PM we have now you never know.

Everyone knew that this condo market/investment into concrete was a "game". Not a "ponzi" game, but the other type of "game", and as any game - there are winners (which are always a little number) and a lot of losers. And as any game, it has a beginning and an end. Now we can see and identify the beginning of the "game", but its end is still in the dark.🙄

[@DhawalKhakhar-m8t]

I like your news update part, but since you don't track price per square feet numbers it's hard to understand which direction is the house price going. Average house prices for any given buyer don't be of any help to buyers. It may be helpful to people who are into selling real estate. And to some who want to get into the business. How easy/hard it is to get that info? Just a genuine question.

[@vichysaho2135]

[@markfox5171]

If you need a place to live, pay the smallest amount you can get away with. If buying is cheaper than renting, then buy. Otherwise, just rent. Nothing is going up much at all from this point. However, there is a high probability it will decline in value. What a ridiculous investment idea. Owning a hot dog stand is much more profitable

[@1964Loukas]

Sold our house 8 months ago and lost at least minimum, now probably double than minimum. I'll just wait 2 or 3 years if the market stabilize

[@lynnspencer7753]

What was the price per square foot when bought today not pre construction?

[@TookAHikeNowWhat]

Sell... TO WHO? Do you think that there's fresh blood still to squeeze from the stone when... 1. People are already spending crazy % of their budget on housing (e.g. like 50-100%), 2. The govt is cutting back on migrant numbers, 3. The govt introduces 30 year ammortization (why would they do this if everything was healthy?), 4. Anyone capable of buying has already done so in the past few years. So much time & energy on such an unproductive sector only has one outcome..............

[@markz1013]

Just house trading from here on in. New blood for the pyramid no longer exists.

[@denisroy4720]

⁠@@markz1013 I agree! It’s sad to think that housing has slowly become a pyramid scheme of sorts. My wife and I paid off our mortgage in late 2021. It was planned and a part of a natural course for us. We followed the basics like making as large allowed on the anniversary date every year, and paying our mortgage every two weeks (26 payments) which increased the number of yearly payments versus monthly (12) or split monthly (24) payments. We also chose the largest payment option possible to help reduce the principal amount owed. Upon renewal we always chose the hardest payment option. We started pur mortgage on October 01 of 2008 and made a final lump sum payment on October 31 of 2021. 13 years and 1 month later we owned our home. Now, we get to relax and travel and spend time with family.

One off situations are not an indication of anything. I bought a precon in 2018 and it is up 50% in value... another one up 25% in less time.... am I ever going to sell these? No, they are high end rental stock with long term tenants. If that areas prices for new stuff hasn't gone up... that means that the resale prices in that area went down and the resale lost even more money. Realtors who tell you a 2014 Lambo sells for the same price as a 2024 Lambo you can easily see don't know what they are talking about. Most of the time, the actual losers are the people that 'won' a bidding war and paid the top price for a resale unit (house or condo) that is old and you could possibly have gotten a new comparable place for a small price difference.... of course most realtors won't tell you that.
