Downtown Toronto Condos for Sale Under $500K

If you’d been hoping to snap up your dream condo in downtown Toronto, but were put off by record prices this year, now might be the perfect time to buy.

Since February, condo values have fallen by 9%, dropping from a peak of $1,202 per square foot to $1,094 in August. It’s not just that prices have come down, either. Many sellers, now understanding that the market has shifted, are more willing to negotiate. On average, buyers are now paying nearly 2% under the asking price. A very different picture from just six months ago when buyers were paying 10% over asking.

Across the city, sellers are finding their listings sitting on the market for an average of 26 days. Quite a dramatic shift from the average of 12 days on the market in February.

All this to say, finding downtown Toronto condos at these price points would’ve been nearly impossible just a few months ago.
