  • Rising land prices and construction costs are driving up condo sales prices. 
  • If the current environment persists, condo prices are likely to inch up, or at least stay flattish, over the next few years.
  • While high land prices and rising construction costs are driving this upward trend, a reduction in borrowing costs has also accelerated price increases
