Prices declined approximately 5\u20136% year-over-year, and many early buyers who purchased in 2021\u20132022 at peak pricing are now completing purchases into a market where values have fallen below their contract price.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these near-term challenges, Toronto&#8217;s structural fundamentals remain among the strongest of any city in North America. Canada targets over 400,000 new permanent residents annually, a significant proportion of whom settle in the Greater Toronto Area. With condo starts near historic lows, analysts widely expect a severe supply shortage to develop later this decade \u2014 creating a compelling long-term case for preconstruction buyers entering today.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Toronto_Condo_Market_by_the_Numbers_2026\"><\/span>Toronto Condo Market by the Numbers (2026)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>New condo sales in 2025: approximately <strong>1,807 units<\/strong> \u2014 a 56%+ year-over-year decline<\/li>\n<li>Estimated 2026 condo completions: approximately <strong>22,066 units<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Estimated 2027 condo completions: approximately <strong>14,366 units<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Projected 2029 completions: near zero, based on current presale activity<\/li>\n<li>Current unsold inventory: near all-time highs, with months of supply exceeding 30 in some submarkets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Preconstruction_Condo_Projects_in_Toronto_for_2026\"><\/span>Top Preconstruction Condo Projects in Toronto for 2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Goode_Condos_%E2%80%94_Distillery_District\"><\/span>1.
