Property Pre-Construction News in TO
The biggest Canadian city keeps getting bigger and better. Toronto, home to many of Canada’s top corporate head quarters in addition to being the largest metropolitan area in the country, provides a stability and urban culture that is not seen in other cities in Canada. The Toronto real estate market has always been traditionally stable and not too exciting, but it is perfect for long term investors and first time home purchasers in the real estate pre-construction market as the affordability index has stayed consistent between supply/demand as well as income levels in the city. With manufacturing and tourism being at the forefront these days, Toronto has a lot going for it. Along the lakefront areas and downtown corridor are many pre-sales and preconstruction developments of condominium high-rise towers including such projects as Shangri-La (second one in Canada after the one in Vancouver) as well as condo properties like Trump International Hotel and Tower residences which will take place and be completed within the next few years. A growing trend in this Canadian city of Toronto is condo-hotels or also conveniently known as private residence clubs and hotel-condominium suites that are investment properties that allow you to reside in the condos during your time in Toronto and then rent it out as a five star resort hotel guest room during your absence. Complete with concierge and professional booking and management services, Toronto condo hotels are popular as the affordable and cost-effectiveness of such an idea has been embraced at least initially. Like with most other major cities in Canada, pre-construction property in Toronto is one of the main sellers in the real estate market as first-time homebuyers and investment pros seek lower price-points as well as new construction condo homes. With great warranties these days, people are getting smart and Toronto preconstruction condominium residences provides a safe and sure bet long term investment potential while you can enjoy a completely new home. Also around the downtown districts are new masterplanned townhome or town house communities, some gated and some not. The Toronto townhome market is very hot as the house prices skyrocket while the condominium residence pricing goes up and townhouses provide the best bang for your buck in terms of dollars per square footage when compared to other forms of housing in the city.

The Toronto Condominium Presales Opportunties are Ripe for the Purchasing Power of First Time Home Buyers and Investors
One thing to note is that the Toronto real estate market has been lulled by a slowing economy and many industry experts have pointed out Ontario’s negative GDP growth in 2006-2007 which has led to a decrease in the number of jobs as well as livability measures in the city. However, with manufacturing, high-tech, biotech and tourism leading the way, Toronto and especially some of the outer districts such as Etobicoke, Mississauga and Barrie Ontario are catching up and growing very rapidly. With an optimistic outlook on the Ontario economy for the next five years, the pre-construction and presales Toronto condo market will continue to increase in value and appreciate quicker than the national rate according to the latest predictions. A huge investment in infrastructure, roads, highways and downtown urban living spaces have brought upon new apartments, renovated plexes and much more inventory to the market, thus creating more competition, better prices and less of a bargaining war. It is a great time to get into the Toronto property real estate market, so are you ready?
