...While renting in downtown Toronto until the market deflates... does that seem like a good idea? Not really ready to drop $400k on a shoebox, but $200k I can do right now and build some capital for when the time comes...
 
If you think the price of condos is going to increase in Hamilton more than other available investments, then buy. If you don't, then don't buy.

If you're like most of us and don't have a crystal ball, buy a condo or house that you can afford and intend to live in. Then it doesn't matter what happens to the market.

Also, you probably won't be building much capital if you're owning property for 5 years or less after all the fees associated with a real estate transaction (let alone the fact that your property will probably be cash flow negative).
 
Yeah I think I missed the train. Have 2 friends who had their condos go from ~$240k to ~$280k in the past 1-2 years. Not worth it anymore.
