BUYERS:
Hire The Real LOFT Realtor - Toronto's #1 LOFT Selling Sales Representative*
| “ | For loft buyers and sellers, the benefits of hiring me or one of my team members are second to none. Unlike most realtors, who are familiar with only a fraction of Toronto's loft buildings, none know the buildings, the values, the layouts and the building nuances like we do. Buyers will quickly realize that knowledge is power when negotiating in this marketplace. |

Your friendly team at MrLOFT.ca is hoping all of our clients, friends and interested onlookers are enjoying the glorious weather of another fine Toronto summer, boosted by the excitement (for some) of South Africa’s 2010 World Cup!
In our April market commentary, we noted the indicators of a shifting market. The hot sellers’ market of late 2009 and early 2010 has ended and conditions are normalizing. The higher interest rates and increased supply of inventory have put the brakes on bidding wars and record high prices (with the exception of our NEW RECORD HIGH at the Candy factory (-: ) For buyers, this is a good thing. You can finally start to negotiate and make an offer on your terms. Over the past month Toronto loft inventory has sat around 280 units which is considerably higher than the Jan/Feb period where inventory sat around 120 units. This added supply will definitely create opportunities for savvy buyers. Overall, we view the latest market evolution as a positive, helping keep values at realistic levels and avoiding over-inflated price transactions. It will also allow for the return to the market of previously perplexed or frustrated buyers.
New construction projects continue at a strong pace, Having attended many recent Condo/Loft launches it is amazing to see how many buyer/investors purchase without knowing the resale values of comparable units before making their purchasing decision. Beware anyone paying $600 per sqft. or more for a property over 600 sqft. will unlikely make any great return in the short term. The majority of loft properties in the resale market still trade between $450-$550 per sqft. Only the best units in a building trade over $550 per sqft (with the exception of small one bedroom units and penthouses).
The table below illustrates overall activity within twelve popular Toronto Loft buildings during the first four months of the year, and compares that against the same figures for the entirety of 2009. The pro-rata transaction volumes are well up over last year in most buildings surveyed.
