Why are some Toronto condos sitting on the market for months — even the ones that look great on paper?
A recent Reddit post highlighted a 2-bed, 2-bath condo near Bloor–Yonge that struggled to get more than six showings in three months, despite parking, a locker, and strong rental income.
And honestly? This is becoming more common in the 2025 Toronto condo market.
High maintenance fees, aging buildings, and tenant-occupied units are turning off first-time homebuyers who are now extremely cost-conscious and picky about move-in readiness.
Monthly carrying cost matters more today than ever.
If you’re planning to buy in 2025, focus less on the list price and more on long-term affordability, future repairs, and the true livability of the building — the things that determine both your day-to-day comfort and your future resale value.
