If you’re shopping for a home in Brampton, you’re dealing with a challenging market that’s somewhat devoid of robust inventory.
For months now, demand has outpaced supply and GTA buyers are finding themselves embroiled in bidding wars that have them spending more (sometimes significantly more) than they had initially planned. Sometimes, buyers with more modest budgets are locked out of the market altogether.
That said, condos — almost always much more affordable than town, semi and detached houses — are an option for people who want to get into the housing market but can’t or won’t spend over $500,000 on a home.
And, if you’re actually looking for a luxurious home that’s expensive but requires little in the way of upkeep (condo dwellers are typically free from snow clearing and lawn-mowing duties), there are costly units that are designed to impress.
