Buying a condo in Toronto

According to New York Times best selling author David Bach in his book The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner (Canadian Edition), (and a book I hardily recommend you buy).

"Nothing Beats Homeownership as a Route to Riches"

There’s a multitude of condos to choose from in Toronto, and more appear to be popping up every day. New condos, resale condos, lofts and condo townhouses...... But how do you avoid the many mistakes and pitfalls that snare many condo buyers?

With so many choices, how do you find that truly enchanting condo or loft in that "I'd love to live here" Toronto neighbourhood?

That’s where the Toronto Condos Advisors website, your Free Guide to Buying a Condo comes into play. We’ll give you all the facts.

The Pre-Purchase Process

Try out our CondoHunter VIP Buyer Program and get email notification every time a condo that meets your specific requirements comes up for sale in Toronto. We email you new listings (complete with pictures) of ALL MLS properties that match your home buying criteria.

This is a great way to check out the condo market and see what's available even before you go out with an agent.

It will also help when you get mortgage financing because you'll have a general idea of what's available and for what price.

The CondoHunter often displays MLS listings days before the public MLS.ca site. That means you can beat out other buyers to hot new listings! FREE of Charge Without Obligation, you can unsubscribe any time and no agent will call unless you request a call.

Is the condo lifestyle even right for you?

We'll cover what a condominium is, types of condos, who runs and manages the condominium, rules and regulations, condo fees, extraordinary expenses and other pitfalls to avoid, and the pros and cons of condo ownership.
