Market Context

Guildford Condo has completed-year closed-sale history from 2017 through 2025 in the market statistics, with 46 recorded condo sales, or about 5 sales per year. That is a thinner resale sample, so each closed sale should be reviewed closely for condition, view, size, and unusual terms before using it as a benchmark. The busiest year in the series was 2022 with 11 sales, while the quietest was 2017 with 2. Recent completed-year sales volume is below the long-term average. The gap between the busiest and quietest years also shows why buyers should separate building demand from broader market-cycle timing.

The completed-year price-per-square-foot history for Guildford Condo ranges from about $224/sqft to $305/sqft, with an average near $266/sqft across the years shown. That tighter band suggests buyers should focus heavily on the details that justify small pricing differences. The last completed year in the series is higher than the first, moving from $249/sqft in 2017 to $305/sqft in 2025. The recent completed-year price-per-square-foot average is above the long-term average. Average closed price over the same completed-year period was about $244,902, but that number should be read by bedroom count, size, view, and renovation level.

Bedroom-level statistics also help explain value at Guildford Condo: 1 Bed and 2 Beds units have the broadest historical comparison set, while 1 Bed around $267,133 and 2 Beds around $212,286 represent the higher average closed-price tiers in the chart data. Because that segment appears across several years, it is more useful as a comparison base than a one-off sale. Buyers should compare units within the same bedroom count before deciding whether a listing is expensive or well positioned. Rental rules should be reviewed alongside the closed-sale statistics because permitted use can influence long-term buyer demand and resale positioning.
