I think a big problem in Canada is that real estate is solely seen as a commodity market, people aren't looking for generational homes anymore😢 your home should be your domicile
cannot Neglect to mention the Liberty Village Bar Scene. "The Local" is across the street from the Balzacs there. Liberty SOHO down the street , Brazenhead etc.
Great video. More please but maybe more on the lower-mid end of the scale (although I do also appreciate the aspirational looks at the the highest-end properties too!).
I am a new viewer. I have only seen a handful of videos, yet in contrast, I love the new format. Very engaging and informative. Keep pursuing this modality. We like the PowerPoints and the knowledge of our landscape, yet the tours are super! Keep at it, you are headed in the right direction. From one Torontonian to another. Be well, be… Amazibg!
Dude you’re naturally gifted at being a realtor! And the choice of properties is awesome, keep doing this type of content you’re gonna blow up!! Your knowledge of the city also shows through which is cool
I rather be living in a cabin, farm, or even Rv, than to pay $ 500k for a tiny apartment type building. I would rather get a decent sized cabin at the cottage or farm area and stay there.
Loved this type of video! Your knowledge of development paired with seeing the inside of a penthouse suite in a Tridel build like Aquabella was such a treat. It brings your expertise to life!
The small place is great! It even has a real bedroom with a door you can lock. And that’s more kitchen area than a lot of those more expensive condos where the “kitchen” is just along a wall with a mini sink and no counter space.
Please do more condo tours but slow down! Most women want to see inside the closets and bathrooms plus any unique or OOAK features inside the units themselves. Personally, I don’t care as much about the amenities in these vids because I can just check the websites.
Great video and good rhythm.. You should get into some of the other features a little more. Windows flor to ceiling, countertop types, cabinet types etc.
Awesome video, I definitely would like to see more IRL content! It could be easier if you just used the footage as b roll and you can talk over it, that way you dont need to worry about the sound quality or having an extra camera man
I’m more interested actually in the Vancouver area, but it’s always nice to see your opinion of what’s available in little Toronto. 😊 I appreciate and learn from your video content very much. Thank you for the continuing effort!
good content bro, i can tell it's a lot of fucking work driving around and talk to the camera and try not to mess it up. For me, i like information, visuals are great compliment, so 1/3 can be like this video, rest of 2/3 should be awesome info that you do in your room cheers brother
knowing the canadian government, they'll restrict people from buying units under X dollars and mess with the free market. If I didn't feel this way, I'd be all over the condo market, but I wouldn't touch it with my worst enemies money.@@TheDuncoh
Jordon, Thank you for the video. Appreciate the content. You are very knowledgable. None the less it seems evident there is a massive correction coming to the luxury real estate market. The masses will prop up the entry level condos. There is a lot of off shore money that was historically looking for safe heaven investments and condos are turn key. That money has dried up. And there just isn’t the industry here to support this value prop. The 6.5mil condo is not worth much more than 3-3.25 mil. Even a multimillionaire would look at it and gag over the carrying costs. Why not take the FX hit and buy a ranch in Texas and put up a solar farm. Or a villa in Switzerland. These prices are not commiserate for the industry that exists in Toronto.
Is that a crack on the windshield of your Macan GTS? You should do more videos like this. It's like going on a house hunt with an agent. You should put together 3-4 condos in the 500k-750k, 750k-1M, 1M-1.25M, 1.25M-1.5M etc...wirh no specific criteria to number of bedrooms and washrooms. I'd like to see if you can come up with unique buildings and layouts and not your typical "shoebox".
hmm, I guess it was interesting but I felt like it missed having a core editorial focus like your other videos. I could see this being nice if it supports a point you're trying to make though.
keep up the great work Jordan keep trying these new idea as long as its still informative of the real estate and etc of Toronto. Love the vids keep pushing!
Nearly $1.9 million and that is all you get, ha ha.. What a joke. I would rather commute and buy a larger house for that money. That living area is so small. 3 bedrooms? So I guess for the kids. Where is the LIVING AREA? Are they supposed to be locked in their rooms? It's so bad. You get nothing for that money. I bet the condo fees alone are $1,000 or so. Even if you are rich and have it in cash. It's absolute crap for what you get. If you can't pay it outright, you will be saddled with many thousands of dollars in mortgage plus condo fees for such a small space. Canadian housing market is f'ed.
I mean it’s different than your usual, and I can see you trying to mix things up. However, the internet is filled with these types of videos and personally I feel like you differentiate better with your analysis content than merely following the format of others.
"Great starter unit" for whom? You need to basically pay $100K down payment on the $500K condo. After that you still have a $400K mortgage which is likely $3,500 a month. Don't forget the condo fees. What are those for this unit? $500? So if you follow the "rule" of ~33% of your income going towards housing you need to be making close to $9-10K a month BEFORE taxes. So easily $150K a year. Average salary in Canada is what? $50-57K a year before taxes. It's a joke nowadays with housing costs. I get it it's inside TO so it will be expensive. But the size is a broom closet. I would never want to pay that much and earning $150K a year and live in such a small condo. Also the condo fess. But he drives a Porsche . So I guess this is only for the $200K plus crowd and up. No wonder the small sub count.
It's a starter unit for young professionals or older folks downsizing. I'm 22 I started a plumbing apprenticeship out of hs at age 18. Got my red seal now making $40/hr. Lived at home, no car, no frivolous spending. Don't drink/smoke. Ate out like once a month. Only hobbies are gym and gaming. Saved like 80% of my take home - threw it in index funds every paycheck and now sitting in cash yielding 5% with money market. Single mom gifted me $100k for downpayment. I'm looking to buy next year and that "broom closet" is probably the kind of unit i'm looking at calling home. The size is fine for a couple without kids if you are a minimalist and don't have a lot of crap accumulated. There are lots of people in their 20s starting their careers but still living at home with jobs paying around $80k-$100k/yr and even more downpayment money gifted ($200k is honestly the norm). Plus they may even have a partner w/ a job they plan to marry and help with the contribution once they buy the place. In these cases where a couple gets married, their (immigrant) families are basically pooling $400k total for the 2nd generation newly weds. Do I wish prices were back at pre-covid levels? Ofc but it is just the market for young people to adjust to/compete in now.. Luckily months of inventory is at a historic high right now so it is a buyer's market for TO.
I am regretting not buying a condo in the gta, 5 or 6 years ago. Everything went up too much since then. That 500k condo was probably 300k before the pandemic.
I think a big problem in Canada is that real estate is solely seen as a commodity market, people aren't looking for generational homes anymore😢 your home should be your domicile
Condos depreciate much faster too. According to Stats Canada, only 9% of people living in condos are owners. Toronto it's an investor's city.
I enjoyed this. This type of video adds another dimension to what you do. Very well done
Man I know you’re videos are usually more analytical-focussed but I can see you blowing up by adding more of these trendy-type house tour vids
He's paying for advertisment.
These views are from people being forced to watch his shit.
1.85M condo is something that 15-20 years ago could be rented for $1200 month. Shows how crazy the prices are in Toronto.
I think you’re mistaken The Well didn’t exist 20 years ago
Not that exact building but same layout, size, etc. Looks rundown for 10 years old.@@Precondo
1200? 15yrs ago dream on, I paid 1400 on Kingston Rd. and Victoria Park 30 yrs ago 1100 sq ft
@@BCSimonYTyea, I would not hire her for anything lol
Not that far off. Had 1500 sq ft at bayview/sheppard for 1500 /month 10 years ago.
liking the content and appreciate the floor plans that pop up on the screen. well done! love your usual content as well.
Wow that ground unit at the Toy Factory looks awesome. Love the easy access to Balzacs!
Loved the ground unit at TOY factory
cannot Neglect to mention the Liberty Village Bar Scene. "The Local" is across the street from the Balzacs there. Liberty SOHO down the street , Brazenhead etc.
This was great Jordan. Love all your content!
I like it. A good balance of eye candy and entertainment + learning little things about local developer builds and finisbes
I love this kind of content. This helps a lot to decide what is possible in the city.
500 square feet is for 3 bedroom in Hong Kong. Selling for over $2 million
Great video. More please but maybe more on the lower-mid end of the scale (although I do also appreciate the aspirational looks at the the highest-end properties too!).

"naturally gifted at being a realtor" in other words a sleazy salesman.
Ive work at The Well and i just did the Presentation center on Wellington for the Q tower for Lifetime !! Love your videos !!
Always love the analysis in your videos, but I really liked this condo comparison tour video as well. Please do more of these!
yeah "a great starter unit" for 500K for a kitchen and a bedroom. What a joke
It's basically a closet.
Imagine complaining, wait till you visit my home, Hong Kong 😂
493 sqft too 😂
Yeah, 2023 is wild. My parents bought their house (2 floors + basement, 3 washrooms, 4 bedrooms, garage) for 400k in 2014ish
I rather be living in a cabin, farm, or even Rv, than to pay $ 500k for a tiny apartment type building.
I would rather get a decent sized cabin at the cottage or farm area and stay there.
Great video man! The quality was good. Very nice change of pace content-wise. More of this would be great!

Really loved this video man…keep it up
How we let this be legal is insane
If 500k is a "starter" you are having a great start! 😂
Toy Factory "built in the 1900's" 😂
All these properties are beautiful. You just gained a new follower ☺️
Definitely like these types of vids 👍👍
Loved it!! you kept me engaged the whole time:)
Very good video and learn all these nice options condo units and very educational what all different choices available
Love these types of videos.
The small place is great! It even has a real bedroom with a door you can lock. And that’s more kitchen area than a lot of those more expensive condos where the “kitchen” is just along a wall with a mini sink and no counter space.
The size of that $550k "starter" condo isn't the problem, a starter condo should be $100k or less.
For that tiny apartment unit, what I would pay is $250K or less and without furnishings, I'll take care of that myself.
Hope you find a real estate agent who agrees with your assessment. 😂
@@Imsosmrt1999 : I don't care about real estate agents and their opinions, I would rather get an rv or trialer instead.
Please do more condo tours but slow down! Most women want to see inside the closets and bathrooms plus any unique or OOAK features inside the units themselves. Personally, I don’t care as much about the amenities in these vids because I can just check the websites.
Amazing. I would love more videos like this one.
Excellent door opening skills!
very well done please continue - listen to often also. cheers!
Love old bricked warehouses 😍
Actually really enjoyed this !!!
Great video and good rhythm.. You should get into some of the other features a little more. Windows flor to ceiling, countertop types, cabinet types etc.

The toy factory unit is awesome

That’s a solid idea thanks
Loved it!
Thanks for sharing I loved this.
* *pulls out shoebox* *: “This is a 550 thousand dollar condo in Toronto.”
The problem is not the size but the price
I’m more interested actually in the Vancouver area, but it’s always nice to see your opinion of what’s available in little Toronto. 😊 I appreciate and learn from your video content very much. Thank you for the continuing effort!
Good job. 👏
Whether you should keep making these,.. views will tell 😊
Tridel is top notch.
Interested in seeing more of this! Strongly suggest a Rode GO or DJI Mic though.
Thanks! Actually just ordered the GO mic today to clean up the audio next time
Great content. Fix the windshield already!
good content bro, i can tell it's a lot of fucking work driving around and talk to the camera and try not to mess it up. For me, i like information, visuals are great compliment, so 1/3 can be like this video, rest of 2/3 should be awesome info that you do in your room
cheers brother
you can buy a pretty big mansion for 6.5M. Why live in a condominium?
Great Video ! keep it up Jordon
Ground unit is perfect for empty nesters
Condos that would go for 150k 20 years ago now worth 500k? The crash can't come fast enough
You gonna be the one to scoop up all the condos when the crash happens condo 👑? 😂
knowing the canadian government, they'll restrict people from buying units under X dollars and mess with the free market. If I didn't feel this way, I'd be all over the condo market, but I wouldn't touch it with my worst enemies money.@@TheDuncoh
Get that Porsche windshield glass replaced bro!
BACK UP FASTER TOM STOREY
Great video!
Jordon,
Thank you for the video. Appreciate the content. You are very knowledgable. None the less it seems evident there is a massive correction coming to the luxury real estate market.

And there just isn’t the industry here to support this value prop. The 6.5mil condo is not worth much more than 3-3.25 mil. Even a multimillionaire would look at it and gag over the carrying costs.

Please more house tours
Yeah I work for McDonald's where do I get 500k from never mind 6mill
For $550K you can get a 5 bedroom mansion with swimming pool and tennis court in Dayton Ohio. Who do you think you're kidding?
seriously? link. Thats wicked.
Exchange rate.... But yes it sucks in Toronto and the gta in general
Raw and unedited, The Don being himself 😉
Keep up the great work!
🙏🏼
Great video concept. Up the production quality and this series will take you a long way! If you're nicer to the videographer 😮
What about high floor on 761 bay? 2+1 almost 1000sq ft uninstructed view
Is that a crack on the windshield of your Macan GTS? You should do more videos like this. It's like going on a house hunt with an agent. You should put together 3-4 condos in the 500k-750k, 750k-1M, 1M-1.25M, 1.25M-1.5M etc...wirh no specific criteria to number of bedrooms and washrooms. I'd like to see if you can come up with unique buildings and layouts and not your typical "shoebox".
great idea thanks! and yeah cracked it the other day
I liked the video. Would certainly watch more like it. It’s a bit off-brand you featuring buildings that actually exist no?
Thanks! off brand for the channel to date, but as a business about 40% of the deals we do are actually resale
hmm, I guess it was interesting but I felt like it missed having a core editorial focus like your other videos. I could see this being nice if it supports a point you're trying to make though.
keep up the great work Jordan keep trying these new idea as long as its still informative of the real estate and etc of Toronto. Love the vids keep pushing!
More vids like this!
Great video
If I had the $ straight up perhaps, but no way I would lock myself into these.
Loved this
i have an unit across from casa loma in a seniors building and rent for a 1br is under 1200.
How much money we need to earn to buy this condo .
Nearly $1.9 million and that is all you get, ha ha.. What a joke.
I would rather commute and buy a larger house for that money. That living area is so small. 3 bedrooms? So I guess for the kids. Where is the LIVING AREA? Are they supposed to be locked in their rooms?

Canadian housing market is f'ed.
More so, as the building ages, those condo fees with subs (when the building is broke) are gonna be crippling. 2000-3000 monthly avg.
"i lived in a smaller shoebox and i loved it"
underrated tbh can cook breakfast from bed in 410 sq ft
@@Precondo 😂 good one.
Tbh the shoeboxes aren't necessarily the issue. It's what you pay to get them that is.
yeah but in this day in age, what are the condo fees for that 410sqft unit? That's where I see these as negative investments.@@Precondo

No 100.000$ tiny home? Or is Canada still thinking a house is luxury?
I LOVE THIS KIND OF VIDEO DADDY YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
500K condo? maybe 50 years ago already.
What’s up with the audio?
audio will be better next vid!
actually kinda trash for $6.5m tiny kitchen tiny master also so useless to have 2 bathrooms in the master what a waste of space
Toronto: when you ordered New York on Wish but still overpaid.
Man I think you could’ve shown better condos for some of those price points
Lol 500k for shoebox
at 6.4 iam gettin rid of winter ..and my ford 6.4 😂😂😂😂
I hear you - in my experience most people with a $5M+ condo in toronto have multiple properties - typically one in a warmer climate
Why was i recommended this
🎉❤
You would have a hard time selling me the 6.45M one for $550 gl.
I like the $1M loft!
The $6.5M loft is ugly 😒
If I sell one of my kidneys I could arrange money for down payment…
Even if a had that money , absolutely a no sell for myself . None of that looked like a good place to live , plus none of them were even homes .
There is something wrong with you people, why take out a mortgage for 25 years to live in this nest box on the edge of the world?
concrete boxs are all worth about 8grand in cement the rest is karens evaluation
drug dealers live in condis so 1980s Miami vice
It’s not worth it especially for that price
