18 h. ago Toronto house with visible holes in roof still expected to fetch $700,000

A Toronto home at 37 Allister Ave. has been in rough shape since 2018, when it sold for $777,000 — sight basically unseen.Back then, potential buyers weren't even allowed inside. The listing stated that viewings were limited to "walking the lot" with the agent, and that's probably what the buyers did since they never managed to do anything with the derelict three-bedroom, three-bathroom home.Eventually, they gave up on the house and sold it at a loss in 2024 for $750,000.The front of the house. Now, a year later, the property is in even worse condition. The roof is collapsing, gaping holes expose the interior to the elements, windows are boarded up with plywood, and the backyard has been swallowed by weeds.It's more haunted house than fixer-upper at this point.But it's back on the market—this time asking just $688,000, which is a full 30 per cent less than last month's hopeful $999,990 price tag. Clearly, that d...

Toronto's KIND Summer Fair is returning to the city from August 12 to 13, 2025 — but not everyone is lighting up with excitement.While the annual cannabis celebration promises "immersive brand experiences," live music, and networking opportunities, many Toronto weed lovers haven't forgotten how last year's fair left a bad taste in their mouths — and not the kind that edibles are supposed to deliver.For a festival that claims to be Canada's leading cannabis event, 2024's winter edition left many attendees feeling burnt out, ripped off, and ignored. "If I wanted to be in a mosh pit, I would've went to a metal concert like I did earlier in the month, not at a cannabis event," said one frustrated attendee after last year’s fair."They need to issue some sort of statement and, if they don't, it says a LOT." Complaints ranged from overcrowding and poor organization to bad vibes from st...
