Condo cliff

Mortgage Professional America has an article on how pre-construction condo buyers in Toronto who bought a couple of years ago at the market’s peak are now seeing appraisals that are 10-30% below their purchase price. The drop in value is causing financing issues for several buyers who are choosing to walk away from their deposits and potentially face legal action by the developer.
