Toronto condo sellers
Condo sales move differently than house sales. The right pricing strategy, the status certificate, your offer process, each decision affects your outcome. This site covers all of it, specific to Toronto.
Four decisions that shape your sale
Most sellers don't lose money on the sale itself. They lose it in the weeks before it, by pricing wrong, skipping the status certificate, or hiring an agent who doesn't know their building.
For condos, pricing isn't a valuation exercise, it's a strategy decision. You're choosing between generating an offer night, attracting conditional offers, or pricing to sit. Each approach has a different risk profile and requires a different kind of buyer. Getting this wrong is expensive in a balanced market.
How condo pricing actually works →Toronto's condo market has real seasonality. Spring brings more buyers and more competition from other listings. Fall is often sharper. January and August are slow for different reasons. Where you fall in that cycle affects how long you sit and what you ultimately accept. Your decision to list isn't just about readiness, it's about timing.
What the market looks like now →Sellers are legally required to provide a status certificate within 10 days of a buyer's written request, for a maximum fee of $100. Most buyers include a condition for their lawyer to review it. Smart sellers order it before listing, a pending special assessment or underfunded reserve discovered mid-conditional period can kill a deal that was otherwise solid.
What sellers need to know about status certs →Not every real estate agent understands condos well. The questions to ask before signing a listing agreement are specific: how many condos have they listed in this building or neighbourhood, what do they include in the listing package, and do they know the building's reputation with buyers. A bad agent costs you more than their commission.
