Hey Urban Toronto,
This forum is a fairly new search google directed me to. And I'm happy to have found this.
Me and my wife are looking to buy a condo ( a place called home) within the next few months (ideally possession by 1st of October). Our biggest problem - we know a big NOTHING about the condo scene. While we are trying to read and catch up there is just too much information and very little time. Hence, we look to you for support and help.
Our preferences
1) Downtown, with views of CN Tower, Rogers Center, Lake view and Highrise, all in one - meaning corner suites or something facing east.
2) Must be within $350,000 to $450,000 all in
3) Ideal floor 20 above.
4) Brand new condo preferred but not a necessity
5) 2 Bedrooms + 1 Parking + 1 Locker.
6) Location should be 5 to 10 mins drive to Gardeners.
7) 900+ SQ FT
8) Like to keep Maint costs below $500 as much as possible.
Well so thats it, are we aiming for too much? Can you give me any ideas of good properties to be gunning for?
Also I've been told my "knowledgeable" friends that this is not the best time to purchase a condo - that I should wait for 4 to 5 months as the flooding of condos in downtown market will have a negative effect on condo prices. Is there any truth in this? Should I wait or should I go for it?
So many thanks for helping us out.
