Website helping out Condo Buyers

From the Toronto Star:

When Paul and Stacey Johnson arrived at the Market Wharf condos recently to tour three units for sale, they knew far more than most licensed realtors about the dollars and sense of the biggest purchase of their lives.

They knew the precise square footage of each suite, instead of just the 800-899 square foot range listed on the MLS. They knew the age of the building, the name of the developer, even which had balconies allowing gas barbecues.

But, most importantly, the Johnsons knew how overpriced each of the two-bedroom units were compared to what’s sold, so far, in the relatively new building just south of St. Lawrence Market.

That’s because Paul spends each morning trolling an innovative and insightful new website called condos.ca — the most comprehensive to date among a new generation of online sites aimed at shaking up the GTA real estate industry and giving buyers, and investors, vital bottom-line information.

“The number one concern for me right now is, am I buying at the peak of the market. I’m not going in with the attitude that I need to make a profit, but I want to know that, in five years, I’m going to at least break even and have had a great place to live in the meantime,” says Johnson.

“I wouldn’t have a lot of that kind of information if it wasn’t for this site.”
