Why Toronto Sellers Are Paying $120K to Escape Their Condos

Toronto's real estate market has hit a breaking point that no one saw coming. Thousands of condo investors who bought pre-construction units during the 2021 and 2022 peak are now facing a brutal reality as their buildings near completion. With property values down, rental rates falling, and new sales hitting a 30-year low, these buyers are trapped in contracts they can't afford to close. Desperate to escape, many sellers are now forfeiting their massive original deposits and even paying buyers hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash just to take these losing investments off their hands. In this video, we break down the shocking numbers behind Toronto's assignment market collapse, the massive wave of unsold inventory flooding the city, and why this real estate correction is predicted to last until 2028.
