These Toronto condos saw the greatest increases in value recently

The demand for Toronto’s condos does not appear to be waning any time soon, a trend that has made itself felt in the steadily increasing prices of units across the city.

In its latest analysis, real estate information portal and brokerage Zoocasa looked at the sold data for 1- and 2-bedroom condo buildings in 95 neighborhoods across Toronto. The study found that year-to-date (January 1 to August 28, 2018), the average price of a 1-bedroom condo in the city is $473,800 (up 11% from 2017), and a 2-bedroom condo stands at $641,056 (up 7% from 2017).

A recent report from the Building Industry and Land Development Association stated that the sales volume of GTA’s condos has continuously outpaced that of single-family homes so far this year.

BILD noted that despite the benchmark price growing by 23.5% year-over-year (up to $774,554) in June, condo units in Toronto’s low-, medium-, and high-rises accounted for 2,079 new home sales, compared to that month’s total of 2,500.
