By: Ryan P. Coyle

Looking to make money in Toronto’s real estate market?  You aren’t alone. Investors have long been attracted to Toronto’s condo market due to its deep-rooted stability and incredible growth potential.  The country’s hottest condo market has seen a huge surge in sales over the last few years and still continues to be the most affordable choice for potential property owners.  It is therefore no wonder that more and more people are looking at investing their money in the Toronto condo market.

Thinking about making an investment in Toronto Real Estate?

“The best time to invest was yesterday. The next best time is today.”

Here’s what you need to know before you get started:

The City

Not that long ago, Toronto was developing in a manner where there was a significant amount of urban sprawl.  Recognizing the hazards of this type of growth and development, the Ontario government passed the ‘Places to Grow Act’.  Since then, the nature of home construction has shifted from single family detached and semi-detached homes in the outlying regions of the GTA to condo buildings popping up all over the city. Today, Toronto is widely regarded as being among the world’s very best cities in which to live due to its diversity, strong economy and robust job market.  Therefore, it is no surprise that Toronto real estate is full of investment potential, especially in the condo market.

The Benefits

Investing in Toronto is a great opportunity for consistent cash flow from a property that will gain significant appreciation over time. More than ever Torontonians are looking for the convenience of condo living. Vacancy rates remain extremely low (0.4% in downtown Toronto) and condo rents continue to soar in the GTA. Also, buying a condo, especially in the case of pre-construction usually means having to do less work than investing in a house which can require significant maintenance and up-keep.  Investing in the Toronto condo market, is a great starting point for long-term financial success
