Condo management challenges, rising fees, and Ontario's housing crisis

E10 • Jul 4, 2024 • 18 mins

This episode covers rising condo fees, a shortage of qualified condo managers, and the impact of regulatory changes on condo management. It also discusses significant property losses in the GTA, a report on home sales, a survey about housing costs, Ontario's rent cap, and Toronto's affordable housing investment.

Key Points

  • Rising condo fees in Ontario are exacerbating the housing affordability crisis due to a shortage of qualified condo managers, leading to higher salaries and increased costs for homeowners.
  • Nearly four out of ten Ontarians are considering leaving the province due to high housing costs, with younger residents and recent immigrants being the most likely to contemplate a move.
  • Toronto City Council has approved a $351 million investment to expedite the construction of nearly 6,000 new rental homes, including affordable and rent-controlled units, as part of its goal to create 65,000 affordable residences by 2030.
