Higher borrowing costs and flattening rents are pushing more and more condo investors into the red.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, investors who purchased units last year in the Greater Toronto Area are losing about <\/span>$600 a month on average<\/span><\/a> as ownership costs have increased much more rapidly than rents, according to a recent Urbanation report. \u201c Quite simply, new condo investment doesn\u2019t work at the current market average price of close to $1,400 [per square foot],\u201d the report reads.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span>That\u2019s bad news for professional landlords and home flippers hoping to make a quick buck, but it could be a rare stroke of luck for first-time buyers \u2014 and affordability overall.\u00a0 <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>\u201cI think there\u2019s definitely opportunity for those who have been on the outside looking in,\u201d Mark Savel, a Toronto-based Realtor<\/a> for Sage Real Estate Ltd., tells Wahi. \u201cI\u2019ve had to have very tough conversations with sellers,\u201d he continues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


Savel says he\u2019s recently had to prepare sellers to accept lower prices or conditions on offers, such as home inspections or financing clauses, a trend that Wahi Partner Realtor Grant Allardyce has also observed<\/a> recently. \u201cMost people have been pretty receptive to the realities,\u201d Savel adds, explaining that motivated sellers are making concessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Toronto and<\/em> Vancouver Investors Are Scrambling to Sell
<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/span>
<\/span>As developers continue to top off new Toronto condos, the number of investors looking for a way out climbs, suggests RBC Assistant Chief Economist Robert Hogue, in a recent report<\/a>. \u201cSupply\u2026 continues to grow. In some cases, such as in Toronto, it reflects the completion of many newly built units (mainly condos) that owners (mainly investors) are looking to offload.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

By the end of the second quarter, developers in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area had wrapped up construction of 28,163 condo units in the previous 12 months, a <\/span>near-record amount of completed housing<\/span><\/a>, according Urbanation\u2019s Q2-2024 Condominium Market Survey. <\/span><\/span>There were also a historically high 25,893 new condos for sale across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area in the second quarter, as per the survey.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>But the Toronto area isn\u2019t the only market where investments are flopping, the RBC report suggests. \u201cHigh interest rates exert tremendous stress on many existing homeowners (including investors), and a growing share may be forced to sell\u2014fueling supply,\u201d Hogue writes of Vancouver in his commentary.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>In the resale segment, active listings for condo apartments totalled <\/span>8,879 in the GTA<\/span><\/a> last month compared to <\/span>6,185 in Greater Vancouver<\/span><\/a>, according to the local real estate boards. In Toronto, active listings are up 63.9% from July 2023, while Vancouver\u2019s total represented a 47.5% year-over-year increase.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both metro areas have a similar share of investor-owned condos. In Toronto, 36.2% of condos are being used as an investment, while Vancouver\u2019s share of investment units is 34%, <\/span>according to Statistics Canada<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With so many listings (and cash-strapped investors) and so few buyers, Savel doesn\u2019t see the tide turning for the market this year. \u201cWhen you look at the downtown [Toronto] market as a whole, there is just so much inventory that I don\u2019t think in three months those opportunities are going to be gone,\u201d he says. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>However, homebuyers hoping for price discounts will want to pounce sooner rather than later, he suggests. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>With many anticipating more rate cuts from the Bank of Canada \u2014 possibly as soon as monetary policymakers\u2019 next scheduled announcement Sept. 4 \u2014\u00a0 the market should begin to rebound in the not-too-distant future. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>\u201cI think activity\u2019s definitely going to pick up in the New Year,\u201d says Savel, \u201cbut maybe not catch up with the amount of supply that we have out there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
