Buying and selling Mississauga condos based on price per square feet

Price per square foot is often mentioned when buying and selling high-rise condos anywhere in the world.

The square footage includes the walls out to the exterior of the building, and half-way to adjoining units. In Canada, price per square foot does not include balconies or terraces.

Why there is vast difference in prices of Mississauga and Square One condos? Here is why:

1. Smaller sized condos sell for a higher price p.s.f. than larger sized condos.
2. Condos with extra features such as extra parking space or extra lockers sell for a higher price per sq. ft. as compared to other exact models in the same building.
3. The price per sq. ft. also depends on the view and floor level.
4. It is not always true that condos on a higher floor command a premium price than condos on a lower floor in a resale condo market. This is unlike new builder condos where one pays premium for every floor as they go up.
5. A view can make a huge amount of price difference per square foot.
6. More than 50% Square One condos are investor owned. These investors come from both the GTA, outside provinces and overseas. These out of town investors at times choose Realtors who are not local experts in Square condo market hence they are sometimes unable to price properties correctly.
