Early Findings
Average Size of Condo’s in Toronto
The median size of new condos in Toronto has
decreased significantly
compared to five to ten years ago.
Toronto’s most recent condos are almost
40%
smaller than the peak condo size witnessed in 1990.
The average-sized condo in 2016 and 2017 was
647 square feet
, with a floor area
5%
less than that in a condo constructed from 2011 to 2015.
From 1981 to 1990, Toronto's condos had a median size of
1,070 square feet
.
In 2018, the median condo assessment value in Toronto was
$457 per square foot
(PSF),
32%
higher than the city’s median assessment for all residential property types.
Demographic Analysis
There is limited information specific to the demographics of condos in Toronto; therefore, in the event such specific data is unavailable,
general demographics' data
regarding the Toronto real estate market can be used. According to more recent research, it is estimated that
immigrants own
over
43.1%
of residential properties in Toronto.
91.0%
of single-detached houses in the Toronto census metropolitan area (CMA) are
owner-occupied
. 37.9% of condos in Toronto CMA are non-owner-occupied and have a
4.7%
higher median assessment value than the
$360,000
median assessment value of owner-occupied condominium apartments.
The median age of individual resident owners in Ontario is
54 years
, while millennials make up
15%
of individual resident owners.
The majority of condominium renters in Canada were under the
age of 35
.
Summary of Findings
The intitial hour of research has uncovered substantial data regarding the average size of a condominium in Toronto; however, there appears to be a dearth of demographic information specific to Toronto's condos. Continued research can uncover more precise demographic data focused on Condo dwellers and owners.
In addition to this public search, we scanned our proprietary research database of over 1 million sources and were unable to find any specific research reports addressing your goals.
