About 77% of investors with mortgages on newly built Toronto condos had negative monthly cash flow last year, up from 52% in 2022, according to a report from Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and industry consultant Urbanation. That means rents couldn’t cover ownership costs such as mortgage payments, fees and taxes.
The pain has thrust the market into an “economic lockdown” that doesn’t bode well for the housing shortage that’s been deemed a crisis by politicians across Canada. Condo investors play a crucial role in financing new projects, so the financial squeeze may result in fewer new units getting built in the coming years.
With all the stress in the market, Toronto’s condo investors have had less appetite to buy into new projects. Sales of new units — usually agreed to before construction even starts — plunged to the lowest level since the late 1990s, according to the report.
