By Royal Lepage: in past 5 years, 10% 1st-time home buys opted for Condo, now 21%, because of lower selling price, also condo fee includes water bills, home insurance, ... repairs, snow removal grass cutting...
but 20 more project is under construction, so in the near future, it's difficult to say it is a seller market or buyer market
For me, I like freehold with big yard, I like DIY
