Touring Micro Condos in Toronto 

YES.... I could live in those small condos. NO...I would not pay those outrageous prices for them.

I don't see much end user demand but an investor owner could place students in these units continuously without issue. Most students would be happy with these for a year or two. Much better than the chopped up basements mosts of us spent time in during our student days.

Amazing how developers have been able to talk people into spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for a room with a hot plate and a tiolet . These units would be ok for students . If all you do is go to school , the library and come home to sleep . These condos are over priced , far too over priced !

beautiful units, a family of 6 in Hong Kong could live very comfortably in those spaces.

I'll stick with my 1400 sq ft condo in the Beach right on Lake Ontario. It is on the first floor so I have both a garden and a patio facing the lake. It is good to be close to downtown, but have your own 15 minute city.

This certainly was eye opening. I think I would suffocate in about 5 min. 🦋🦋🦋

🔥🔥🔥. The people recognize that first condo 😂😂😂

The 55th flr Massey unit is back up on the MLS 7 hours ago for 719k. Same sheets on the bed and same sofa ha. Awesome unit as long as the view stays unobstructed.

I could absolutely live comfortably in these condos as im desiging a tiny house to live in that is 160 sqft. But I would never pay the price being asked for these. Out of the 3, I think the 2nd one is my fav.

I actually like the kitchen in the hallway of unit #1. I think it's the most practical. But it's waaaaay too expensive wow

I actually live in the last condo shown in the video. Overall the building is great and so are the views except for two main things. 1) 1-2 elevators are always down so going up 40+ floors with a long line is always a nuisance. 2) The parking lift/elevator is constantly down too, having to wait 2-5 hours for your vehicle to be ready which means you can't rent it out with such faulty equipment/software!!!!

you're a natural with the vlogs keep em coming

This is so different than any other condo vids that I've seen! Brilliant idea showing things that you don't get too see too often :P

What a fun video!! love the channel Dem!

Dem, these type of videos do really well on your channel. I love them so much and 6.4k other people love it too

I love it ! The view is stunning ! The condo is nice , loving the Murphy bed ! I would live there except for the price , to expensive for my taste !

I am loving these videos! Keep ‘em coming!☺️

You are absolutely right. The condo at Young and Queen has a awesome view. But at $699K, WOW!

Thanks for the tour 💛💛💛💛

Love, love, love the first one!

First vlog! 🎉 When Dem says Make you sure "Like! Coment! Subscribe!" It's awesome! Lol and stick one my head lol More vlogs!!!👏👏🎉🇧🇷

The outside of that first condo reminded me of your guys's old one!!!

Yes realtor vlogs!!!

Easily and could happily live in any of these. Just need the bare essentials.

that last place looked really good, please do more of these videos

I recently saw a makeover video of an apartment that looked identical to the last one you showed in this vlog. It was made SO attractive and liveable.

I like the last condo

Nice. Well done Dem More sucess. Blessing

Loved the last condo, I would live there 🙌🏽

Loved this video!!!

Good 👍🏾 job 👏🏾 Dem♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

We need more videos, about work business & all things for us men bro, good to see your own channel

Thank god for interest rate hike- although borrowing power has diminished it will give buyers a room to negotiate .

So, first off, LOVE the video. Super interesting, informative, would love to see more, especially as I’m looking at renting (maaaybe buying a studio) in Toronto. …that being said, I could never, and WOULD never pay over $500k for a Studio. $700k is ludicrous. I know the video was from 2 years ago, so maybe that’s why, but I’m seeing studios in downtown for $350k-$450k now.

Yes more vids like these please

TINIER! lol great vid 👍

here i am, watching tiny home videos like i always do and i click on this one and BOOM! my worlds collide when a BBCAN person starts talking to me! someone crossed the streams.

My very first studio in TO was 236 sq ft in queen w and I loved it! About 5 years ago it was $1350. If you’re really intentional about your furniture choices and can keep it clean, spaces like these definitely get the job done

Great tour 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

It’s like a camper it’s so small. Could take some ideas from campers, also as far as storage, etc.

Honestly i love them i wish i could afford one

I make 236 sqft work for myself and 2 dogs. 290 sqft sounds like a mansion to me lol .

My first condo was 398 sq ft.... at Village By The Grange... it was definitely livable or a single guy... paid only about $160k for it.

Nice. Do you have a video on condo bidding wars?

As someone who's been living in a 372 sq. ft studio for 3 1/2 years, and has more pairs of shoes than anyone I've ever met, it's definitely doable!

I think they are “doable.” But, I’m not gonna lie. The narrow hallway would give me pause. Anyway, thanks for the tour!

I live in downtown Chicago and went to law school in Berkeley, so I am used to smal spaces. I could totally live in the last two condos (the hallway in the first one is creepy). However, I am shocked at how expensive the condos are. These are definitely NYC and San Francisco prices.

Hey mister Dimitr(i)ontocondo (say out loud) 😂😂😂 for me as living in Holland and having day while you have night and reversed really nice to "walk around" with you through your daily work. Ps Your style evolved real nice and I smell a lot of "sprinkles" of Ika in it 😂🤫😂

The last one wasn't too small, yet that price is insane!

I actually really like small studios like these. They're really modern and have nice views so I would rather have a small apartment like this instead of a larger apartment that is old. Sure, it's not for everyone but we should have a variety of options so that people like me who like these apartments had the option to live in one.

After watching the teeny tiny officetel studio tours of Seoul, these apartments look OK actually :)

That's about the same size as my social housing / supportive housing unit. But being built in the 70's I have a kitchen in a traditional layout in its own room that's 7x7 and I have four-floor tiles of space to move around in and half the cupboard space. I also have a 17-x 5'5" balcony. But I have what was designed as a pantry in the hall but gets used as storage. the main living room is about 5 feet longer and seventeen feet wide, But I am in Scarborough rather than downtown. If they were to change the kitchen to a gallery kitchen it would be perfect and would give me a few more square feet and a more open feeling.

I live in a 357 sqf apartment in TO, it's doable because apartment like these are very functional, they have everything you need. They're just small. You can live in one but to buy one, that i wouldn't do.

Great video. Those prices are ridiculous, you can buy a 1 bedroom just down the street for $785,000 600+ SF.

great vid!!! loved it. in 2 years this is a bargain....or a disaster

There is a smaller condo than the one you viewed at 11 Wellesley street, just at 28 Wellesley street east, the other side of the road! Super small infact lool

I', assuming the microwave in the Queen micro condo is a convection microwave since I don't see a regular oven.

The housing crisis is way out of hand. So many of us will never be able to retire, much less own a home.

But where would you eat? Standing over the kitchen sink?

10:24 They'll be Uber Eats-ing all of their meals until their tech or marketing job is outsourced to someone overseas who can do it for 30% of the cost , or their work will be absorbed by AI. If they put a minimum down payment they'll then be forced to sell at a loss when thousands of other people who'd otherwise bid up prices will have also lost their six figure covid tech-bubble job .

Been to a smaller unit at 197 yonge street. I think I would live there. Definitely doable and very morden units too

like honestly this is a huge no thanks, pay for the height no. and zero room for anything.

Very interesting! I'd be interested to see.more like this...I sub to Cash Jordan in NYC who's been making videos like this for awhile...they are super entertaining....it would be great to see you do these regularily!

Oui dem il y a des personnes qui aiment les petites espaces! Personnellement le 60ème, 80 étages non merci 🥴

For your info a 321 sqf condo on Wellesley street just sold for more than $550 000 so I doubt that it will go for $200 000. There is nothing downtown Toronto under $400 000 and up !

That last one for 700.000 was nice most likely paying for the view I think in Vancouver that same place would be way more

The first condo had what looked like painted over rust on the railing on the balcony. I hope I'm wrong.

Hello, could you do some micro condos that are more affordable like $800 - $1400?

lol the condo you pranked Ika in is just tooo narrow to be livable, imagine trying to haul groceries inside

I'm not as concerned about the sizes - as a single woman I could easily live in any of them - but the price/rent - ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!! I live in one of the U.S. states where people are moving in by the droves to get away from certain "conditions" in other states. Houses are being purchased here sight unseen and of course the prices have risen accordingly. Very large, spacious, gorgeous homes are being sold in equally well-maintained suburban areas that are minutes from the downtown area and close to "tourist attractions." Average cost for a 4-5 bedroom home with a full bath plus another full bath in the master bedroom, huge kitchens, family room, dining room, formal living room, laundry room, two-car garage and a good sized lot in this area are going for $425,000. Even very average apartments are going up in price. I live in a nice one-bedroom apartment for $695 BUT we now have a 600 person waiting list!!!!!

💯🔥💯👍🏾

The size isn't the problem. The cost is! Who the hell can afford to live here???

I travel quite a bit for work..my hotel rooms are bigger

377 sqf is already so much better. Every will fit. Couch, bed, desk and personal belongings but it will NEVER GO FOR $699 000 !

Lol perfect condo for a midget or small people it's a steal

These prices are stupidly high and you can't convince me it's a bargain.

👏🏽👌🏽👍🏽💯

Absolutely hilarious watching this in 2024 and hearing “if you’re watching this in a couple years $700k for 300 sq feet could be a bargain.” Spoken like a true real estate agent! Lmao

Look into the camera

Love the last condo.. but the price is way too much.

is this smart house?

There is no way in hell I would buy something that small for that price, it's insane. You must as well check in at the Toronto South Detention Centre in a cell, same size..lol

incredible jail cell for the rent slaves

I could live in that last one comfortably, but not at that price. This comment being a year later, the price is probably higher now.

💋❤❣

Small?... that's European standards.....we're there

On that second condo, not only it's extremely small but you have this huge building blocking your view and people staring at you.....

Bro u wanna see small??? Go to the condos near wilson station.... absolutely horrible.

Just watching through RU-vid made me claustrophobic, and I'm not claustrophobic. I'd rather live in a van...

I’m manifesting owing rentals in my life. Better than bitcoin

600K? Too much, that's pure greed!

Toronto beats Vancouver as most expensive real estate market in Canada few weeks after this video. Jesus...

as a sydneysider this looks CHEAP

Claustrophobic condos

Over priced closet

grim

Yeah these are tiny. Better to get some roommates and rent a bigger place at a lower price.

All 3 of them are too small and way over priced. These are the shoeboxes that are very unliveable. Not a fan of the murphy bed concept. I've been in a condo with a bed room + wasroom being almost 300 sq feet.

bad investment, cant even cash flow, just betting on appreciation, which is very risky

If I have money I won't buy this condo.
