Condo Owners in Toronto

Toronto's significant condo market means many seniors live in condominiums. Condos qualify for reverse mortgages, with LTV reduced by approximately 15%. At an average condo value of $680,000, a 68-year-old condo owner could access approximately $175,000–$220,000 depending on the lender.

Toronto-Specific Considerations

Toronto property values are supported by strong long-term fundamentals, which is favourable for reverse mortgage LTV calculations. However, the Land Transfer Tax (both provincial and municipal) is important context if you are considering selling in the future.
