Preconstruction is a great form of investment right now in Ontario for several reasons. Here are some of the top reasons why:
Leverage: Buying a pre-construction condo with 20% down, or less, allows you to leverage 100% of the asset’s appreciation at a five-to-one ratio. Between 1997-2017, the 20-year-over-year average for properties in C01 (downtown Toronto) shows a near 11.56% appreciation before adjusting for inflation.
No bidding wars: You do not need to enter a bidding war for a pre-construction home. This can be a huge relief for buyers who are tired of losing out on bidding wars for existing homes.
Choice of developer and location: Getting in early at the development stage is an exciting prospect, especially as you have a choice over the developer and location. It’s important to invest in a builder before you invest in a building. Choose a condo building developer or reputable builder who has a solid track record of executing on their development plans in a timely fashion and without excessive delays.
Potential for growth: Pre-construction condos have the opportunity to be both a great long-term and short-term investment option. This is why many individuals prefer pre-construction real estate in Toronto, and pre-construction condo sales have been growing for several years.
Overall, preconstruction investment in Ontario offers many benefits and opportunities for growth. It’s important to do your research and work with a reputable builder to ensure that your investment is sound.
