Condo vs House

多伦多公寓市场近年来有了长足的发展,一是整个房屋市场中公寓的成交量不断增加,份额超过了20%。二是新的高档公寓不断涌现,价值百万以上的单位比前几年明显增多,成为名副其实的公寓豪宅。

 

不论是已经落成的,还是正在建设当中的公寓豪宅大都分布在市中心,湖滨沿线以及中城央街一带。如果说别墅住宅的价值体现在物业的地点上,那么对于高档公寓来说大楼的地点更是决定了公寓价值的尊卑。所以你在十嘉堡地区看不到百万级的公寓豪宅,即使在央街走廊的北部Sheppard Finch一段,两边高楼林立,你也很难看到叫价超过百万的公寓单位。

 

你也许会说,花一百万买一间公寓,每月还得交上千的管理费,我有病呵?可是实际上一百万也只是公寓豪宅的入门价,多伦多的公寓豪宅的叫价从百万直到超过千万,而那些买了公寓豪宅的都是些真正有钱的,他们不但身体没毛病,精神上也同样正常,和您所不同的只是生活方式和价值取向。

 

因为公寓豪宅都有这样的特点:比如面积在两千尺以上,硬木地板,花岗岩厨面,空间大,装修奢华。豪宅单位多建于大楼的顶部,落地门窗,视野开阔,景色壮观。大楼整体的设计彰显尊贵,内部健身,娱乐设施一流,安全保障严密。加上交通极为方便,即可享受高尚社区生活,又可免去打理家居的烦恼。正是这些独有的优势,公寓豪宅成为一些人士的首选。

 

对于将来多伦多公寓市场的发展会是什么样是个仁者见仁的事,不过不争的事实是公寓肯定会越来越多,人多地少的矛盾也会越来越突出。还记得去纽约的时候,感叹曼哈顿看不到别墅,全是高楼大厦。虽然多伦多不能和纽约相提并论,但是大城市的发展规律是一致的,让我们一起见证多伦多的变迁。

The Toronto condo market has seen significant development in recent years. Firstly, the volume of condo transactions within the overall housing market has continuously increased, surpassing over 20% share. Secondly, new upscale condos have emerged, with a noticeable increase in units valued at over a million dollars, solidifying their status as luxury condos.

Whether completed or under construction, most luxury condos are located in the downtown area, along the waterfront, and in the central Midtown district. If the value of a villa residence lies in its location, for upscale condos, the building's location determines its value even more. Therefore, you won't find million-dollar luxury condos in areas like Scarborough; even along the northern stretch of the Yonge Street corridor from Sheppard to Finch, where high-rise buildings abound, it's rare to see condo units priced over $1.5m dollars.

You might wonder, "Why would anyone pay a million dollars for a condo and then have to pay thousands in maintenance fees each month?" But in reality, $1.5m dollars is just the entry price for luxury condos in Toronto. Prices for luxury condos range from a million to well over ten million dollars. Those who buy luxury condos are truly wealthy individuals. They are not only physically healthy but also mentally sound; the only difference between them and others is their lifestyle and values.

Luxury condos share certain characteristics: for example, they typically have a floor area of over two thousand square feet, hardwood floors, granite countertops, spacious layouts, and luxurious furnishings. Luxury units are often located at the top of buildings, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing expansive views and breathtaking scenery. The overall design of the building exudes prestige, with top-notch fitness and entertainment facilities and stringent security measures. Plus, the convenient transportation allows residents to enjoy upscale community living without the hassle of managing a house. It is these unique advantages that make luxury condos the top choice for some individuals.

As for the future development of the Toronto condo market, it's a matter of personal perspective. However, it's an undeniable fact that condos will continue to increase, and the contradiction between a growing population and limited land will become more pronounced. I still remember when I visited New York, marveling at the absence of villas in Manhattan, with skyscrapers dominating the landscape. While Toronto may not be comparable to New York, the development patterns of major cities are consistent. Let's witness the transformation of Toronto together.
