Zero New Condo Launches Is A VERY Bad Sign
The video highlights a stark shift in Toronto’s housing market: zero new condo launches this quarter, underscoring a dramatic drop in buyer demand despite a growing population. Developers are grappling with a surplus of completed units that have sat idle for up to two years, while many pre‑construction projects now include clauses allowing them to cancel if sales thresholds aren’t reached. Single‑family home construction has fallen below 1,000 units, and power‑of‑sale listings are rising as mortgage stress spreads. Hosts cite real‑world examples—a developer’s APS clause, a listing priced 10% above debt, and a buyer who fled a deal at the last minute—to illustrate how sentiment has turned sour. Conditional offers dominate, and sellers are forced to accept prices well below their expectations. The lack of new supply combined with swelling inventory is expected to depress prices further, strain developers’ cash flows, and heighten risk for investors and home‑buyers alike.
