Buying a condo in Richmond Hill this fall? You are shopping in a different market from Toronto.

The condo apartment benchmark here is 14.2% below last year. In the City of Toronto it is 6.9%, in Markham 10.3%, in Vaughan 5.4%.

In the latest month, 33 condo apartments sold in Richmond Hill and 197 were still on the market. The ones that sold went for 95% of their asking price, on average.

Counts like these read like room to negotiate, and room to keep your financing condition and your lawyer's review of the status certificate.

An asking price is a decision somebody made about their own home. What comparable units actually closed at is evidence. So price your offer from what sold in that building, not from the headline.

Which building or street are you watching this fall?

Someone asked me last week whether they had missed the bottom of the condo market.

It is the question I hear most, and I do not think it is the right one.

Resale condos for sale across the GTA and Hamilton have dropped to a three-year low. Unsold new-build units hit a record in the same quarter, so the two cancel out and total inventory reads as flat. That is why the first half rarely gets reported.

Where we sit ourselves: my husband and I are helping our daughter shop for a resale condo. Months of looking, and we have not bought. I am not pretending that is a clever market call. Nobody knows where the bottom is.

What I do know: two condos at the same price can be a good home or a slow, expensive problem, and the difference is the building, not the month you bought.

If you are looking at something specific, tell me the neighbourhood in the comments and I will tell you what I would check first.

If the "Toronto condo crash" headlines have made you nervous about buying, take a breath. The June numbers are a lot calmer than the noise.

I went through what the actual sources are saying this month (Bank of Canada, MPAC, the real estate board) instead of the social-media panic. The short version:

- Condo prices are down about 25% from the 2022 peak, so there is more choice and room to negotiate than buyers have had in years.
- Rates are holding steady at 2.25%.
- The one real risk, the appraisal gap at closing, mostly hits pre-construction buyers from the peak, not someone buying a resale condo to live in now.

Whether now is your moment depends on what you are buying and how long you will stay. That is the conversation I would rather have with you before you fall for a unit, not after.
