Two condos with similar square footage can sell very differently depending on the building, unit position, fees, parking, updates, amenities and recent sales.

Recent Sales in Your Building

Review comparable units that have actually sold, not just general neighbourhood averages.

Current Competition

Understand what other units in your building or nearby buildings are competing for the same buyers.

Condo Fees

Evaluate how monthly condo fees may affect buyer affordability and perceived value.

Parking & Storage

Account for deeded or assigned parking, storage lockers and other features buyers value.

Unit Condition

Compare renovations, finishes, layout, floor level, exposure and overall presentation.

Building Factors

Consider amenities, reserve fund information, age, management, common areas and buyer perception.

3. Buyer Perspective

Evaluate how condo fees, amenities and monthly ownership costs affect the likely buyer pool.

4. Pricing Strategy
