Apples to apples: compare up to 8 condos at a glance

When you’re shopping for a big-ticket item like a computer, many sites have a handy tool that lets you compare different models side-by-side so it’s easy to choose the best one for you. When you’re buying something at a slightly higher price point – like, say, a condo – having tools to help you make the right decision is even more crucial.

That’s where the condos.ca comparison tool can help.

Once you’ve signed up for a condos.ca account, you can easily compare up to 8 properties (for sale or for rent), looking at everything from price to square footage, maintenance fees to building amenities.
