Toronto Income Property Newsletter – February 2019
The frigid temperatures are keeping real estate agents inside as the Toronto market is getting off to a bit of a slow start. It is usually quiet in January, but it seems like inventory levels for this past month were even lower than usual. There were very few new income property listings as well. Expect things to start picking up in early March in and around the school breaks.
At the moment there isn’t a single income-generating property in downtown Toronto asking less than a million dollars. There are also a few priced over 2 million dollars that are generating less than a 3.5 cap rate on existing rents. It may soon be time to rename them “multiple suite properties” instead of “investment properties”. But I guess I would have to go and change my business cards and website if we did that.
Happy Valentine’s Day and I hope all of you enjoy the big game this weekend.
