Title: Yonge And Eglinton Condos For Sale
1Yonge and Eglinton Condos for sale
- In my review of 2017 sales and price changes for
Yonge and Eglinton Condos for sale, I saw several
factors come into play. There was a new
non-residents home buyers tax and new mortgage
rules that came into effect in January 2018. The
new tax create a one-week blip in the buyers
market but buyers returned quickly. They saw
that the new tax, being refundable, had little
impact on the condo market.
2new mortgage rules
- The new mortgage rules had and will have a huge
impact on the market. Prices were reaching their
peak mid-year with Yonge and Eglinton Condos for
sale hitting 1000 per square foot. That subsided
some what in the fall but prices continue on the
rise while inventory shrinks.
3multiple offers are now common in rental
applications
- The other affect of the new mortgage Stress Test,
is that those looking to get into the market for
the first time in 2018, were forced back into the
rental market - so prices were up by at least
10, multiple offers are now common in rental
applications and inventory is at its lowest in
years.

6new tax imposed in the 2nd quarter
- It is important to remember that the 2017 price
and sales numbers reflected here will not likely
repeat in 2018. Several reasons are contributing
to this statement. First, there was a change in
the non-resident buyer with the new tax imposed
in the 2nd quarter of 2017. The other big
changes have to do with interest rates.
7new mortgage on a property
- Not only have interest rates begun to rise, there
is now a stress test for all buyers securing a
new mortgage on a property. This stress test
requires a buyer to qualify for the new mortgage
at either two percentage points above the Bank of
Canada prime rate or at the five year fixed
mortgage rate - whichever is HIGHER.
8increase of inventory in the marketplace
- The other change that we have seen, which is
often seasonal, is the increase of inventory in
the marketplace. Currently Yonge and Eglinton
condos for sale number at 34 properties. Price
ranges are from 309K to 1,099,000.
9strong and steady market
- Price ranges are from 309K to 1,099,000. The
vast majority of these are listed below the
million dollar mark and very few have been on the
market more then 30 days. This is a sign of a
strong and steady market for Yonge and Eglinton
condos for sale.
