Ontario Condo Market Heat

Condo apartments trade in their own rhythm — higher listing turnover, more investor supply, and market conditions that can diverge sharply from freehold houses in the same city. This report tracks how fast condos sell, how sale prices compare with original asking prices, and where cuts are spreading, with relisting chains merged. Condo townhouses are covered in the townhouse report.

This report describes past sales of condo apartments and is not investment advice or a price forecast. Above-asking rates partly reflect list-low pricing strategies; discount medians are conditional on selling below the original ask. Semi-detached homes are covered inside the index's semi-detached filter rather than a standalone report — too few cities clear the disclosure floor for a reliable ranking. Full rules in the methodology.
