If you're considering a downtown condo purchase, what are the most important things to consider when comparison shopping? Here are my tips:
1. Layout trumps size: A well planned layout gives you more flexibility with space than square footage. For example, the square footage can be in a relatively unusable area (like the entry or hallway) . As a rule of thumb, for a 1 bedroom look for over 600 sq ft; for a 2 bedroom look for over 800 sq ft, and if you're downsizing from a house to a condo look for a minimum of 1000 sq ft for 2 bedrooms.
2. Understand your preferred floor plan: In a condo, the preferred floor plan is called a "Split Bedroom" - where the bedrooms lay on each side of the living space for maximum privacy. Of course, some people would prefer the bedrooms to be located down a hallway away from the living room (for noise)
3. Understand what features will cost you more if you're buying a Toronto Condo: There are a few key things that will cost you more, and ultimately add value to your property over time. These are things that most buyers highly desire; and of course there are fewer condo units with these features in each building:
- Proximity to transit. The closer to transit (especially the Toronto Subway System) the higher the price. This is the number one demand for condo buyers!
- Natural Light. Corner units, which have more windows, demand a higher price
- Views, especially unobstructed views of Lake Ontario. Highly desirable, this adds to the price of a condo, especially waterfront condos
- Distance from the elevator or garbage chute. Closer to the elevator, or garbage chute, units are generally (but not always) cheaper
- Hight. Penthouses command a premium for their views, privacy and lack of upper neighbours. Pre construction condos also charge a premium for each floor as you go up for the views.
