Toronto Condo Sellers are losing $70,900+ via Assignment

[@bernadofelix]

fear a housing crash due to people buying homes above asking prices with little equity. If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.

[@hersdera]

Agreed, instead of panic or following a hearsay, I simply adopted the service of an advisor early 2020 amid covid-outbreak, and so far, I've attained my most measurable financial milestone of $900k after subsequent investments.

[@SandraDave.]

nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?

[@hersdera]

I have been working with ““Margaret Johnson Arndt”” whose expertise in portfolio diversification is unsurpassed and client-focused, I have made more profits with her guidance than I ever did when I tried navigating the markets on my own.

[@nishali3343]

Txs for the eye opener on the pre-construction capped development fees, i never knew how those fees affect closing. I bought an assignment back in 2008 when prices were going down, $40K below market, i had no clue about these fees that could be uncapped. I got lucky as everything went fine. My motto now is to always buy fully registered condos now, you pay more, but you are assured a condo vs some pre-construction ones that never get built or delayed or unregistered for years sometimes.....

Very useful content - best video I've seen so far about Assignment sales. Thanks Jordan and team!

The other thing is that Nobu has some extremely efficient 2 bed 2 bath floorplans. More efficient then Bisha

Not enough blood in the streets. No position in investing is actually a position.

[@EricAlHarb]

A lot of people don’t realize how we live in a globally synchronized fiscal policy system. BoC will stay with the FED. All manner of housing, especially speculative assignments are high risky and susceptible to massive correction. Sit on your hands and stay thirsty my friends. In 2026 go on a shopping spree.

[@Mike-sl7zy]

Yes, a decision to NOT make a decision is still a decision. I know many friends waiting for prices to come done for the past 10 years, trying to time the market. Choosing to put themselves in a position as a renter. They are now waiting for a correction. when instead they could have gained 50%+ in equity over that time.

[@EricAlHarb]

@@Mike-sl7zy what’s new though? You think 5% sustained cost of capital is the same old same old? Nope. It’s not about timing the market. It’s about mathematics and 2 + 2 in no universe equals 22. Hence the markets gonna tank.

[@ykhov]

​​@@Mike-sl7zywell before 2021 the best move anyone can do is over leverage and buy the biggest house they can afford. The top is in and I don't see Canada breaking it for another 10 years and I'm saying this as a home owner myself.

Well said, I have several assignment deals if anyone wants. Riverside square in particular. 2 bed for 630k

[@kevinn1158]

The market is going to grind downward well into 2024. The BOC won't be reducing rates anytime soon. They can't because rental rates and real estate rates are still way too expensive. So I wouldn't call any of these as good deals yet knowing the market is going south in the foreseeable future.

[@Precondo]

I’m not in the business of predicting the future The term good deal implies cheaper than resale - ie a better deal than what 98% of consumers are getting

[@kevinn1158]

@@Precondo I understand. But just know, from an economists perspective, the BOC historically is now committed to dealing with inflation, and that means no substantial rate cuts for several yrs after an inflationary period. They experimented dropping rates decades ago, relatively soon after an inflationary period, and they got caught having to raising rates even higher because inflation came roaring back.

[@bathtubrenew]

Any serious investor I know are not doing anything.

[@EricAlHarb]

@@bathtubrenewyup, cash is king right now. There are no opportunities out there. There will be in 2026 after the cleansing of the system.

[@kevinn1158]

@@EricAlHarb it’s an incredibly difficult situation to predict as the govt has always stepped in to ‘save’ the market as they did in 2008/9. Technically on a chart, the market has done a huge head and shoulders. If it breaks below the ‘neck’, ie the base level of those 3 peaks in prices the last 4 yrs, prices could drop 20-25% from here. People need to realize that would only take prices back to 2018. Relative to wages, that would still be considered overpriced. It would still leave prices above the long term trend line. I think what’s key to the future is how quickly will the BOC will be able to ease the rate hikes, and how this will overlap the ramping up of supply levels. The underlying problem is that many of these politicians and their big donors have investment properties and this will keep the govt from actually allowing the markets to correct shaking out investors bringing supply to endusers in the short term. Another question is will the govt drop land transfer taxes, GST taxes, reduce development charges???

[@sharinglungs3226]

Crazy how long it takes to build some of these. I would have thought anything bought in 2017 would have been completed by now. Is this just delayed from the pandemic or relatively normal to take this long?

Typically 4-5 year build cycles but things in Toronto are known to run a year or two late typically

All realtors shy away from assignments unless they are doing the assigning.

[@carsinthewild7883]

Stumbled upon your channel. Great videos! Two questions: 1. is there not central forum or website for all to post assignment deals, ala MLS? If not, why hasn’t someone created this yet ? 2. For someone wanting to invest in real estate, is there any places or resources you can recommend to connect with Private Equity investors to either partner with or use their investments to start own PE Real Estate fund to invest in these deals? Thanks!

[@mgdubya27]

Just getting started.

[@saveourplanet4204]

Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge! Do you have any contacts for Victoria, BC condo assignments? I believe real-estate is licensed by province, otherwise if I'm mistaken, do you deal in Victoria assignments? Thanks

[@MD-tp5zy]

prices are too damn high, we need lower land prices

[@billm3210]

And developers in canada sell at 1000$ per sq ft which is crazy. Its not land only. Canada is full of land. Its development in concentrated cities like Toronto and the developers dont even put 20% down the banks take all the risk. The contruction costs are high but not that high they want to make seriois $$$ in a way over valued market compared to other top cities in the world to live and Toronto is not. Citybis broke and garbage management and infrastructures.

[@raskolqqq]

That section on development fees versus capped and transferrable, etc, needs to be better explained. You don't explain the chart and those figures. I can't imagine those figures apply to all new condos in the city; and I do imagine that development charges vary based on location and date the building permit was issued to the builder. Please elaborate or do a video on explain this more.

Yeah no buddy unless government still props up banks to lend mortgages that are most likely sub prime on the books to keep this bubble going for a while. 2021-2022 is the peak of all peaks. Expect another 15% downhill at least by mid 2024.

Ive been in one of these condo's (similar sq ft), its literally a coffin, not worth a god damn thing. this economy is a scam.

[@Mike-sl7zy]

I’ve seen assignment sales allowed with builders approval. If the builder doesn’t approve the assignment sale, is there anyway to sell the assignment prior to closing on the purchase of the condo?

[@Precondo]

depends on APS - can't answer this Q without looking at specific deal in question

Good. Hopefully it falls another few hundred thousand to where it’s possible for domestic incomes can afford these homes.
