This may be a new year, but the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are still shaping the housing market, including homebuilders’ plans to launch new projects.
Despite a provincial stay-at-home order to beat back transmission of the virus, there are plenty of signs it will be a busy first half of the year for home buying — a stark contrast from 2020, when the arrival of COVID-19 in Canada sunk springtime sales to extreme lows and delayed new condo launches. Buyer momentum in Toronto’s resale condo market has been building since late 2020, and now, a number of new developments across the city are gearing up to start sales in the first months of 2021.
Here’s a list of eight Toronto condo projects that are preparing to launch sales this winter and early spring. The information used in this list is sourced from BuzzBuzzHome.
