3 h. ago There are 4 places in the GTA that cost more to live in than Toronto

When it comes to the cost of living in Canada, Toronto often takes the spotlight as one of the priciest places to call home. With its bustling downtown core, soaring condo prices, and ever-rising rent, it's no surprise many assume it tops the charts for affordability challenges, but this isn't quite the case. One would be forgiven for thinking that Toronto is the most expensive city in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), but other cities in the region regularly top the 416 in average cost of living. A recent MoneySense report reveals four cities that surpass Toronto among the most expensive places to live in the GTA, and a couple of them don't come as a huge surprise to anyone paying attention to regional home prices and the increase in living costs. Richmond HillAn aerial view of a residential street in Richmond Hill.

Toronto's real estate market is in an unprecedented downward spiral which continues to scare away buyers worried about what snail-paced sales and a growing backlog of listings will mean for their future investment.But, for those brave enough to fulfill their dream of property ownership amid such an uncertain market (and economy in general), there are some serious deals to be had, with house, townhome and condo prices inching downward, in some cases to levels not seen in many years.For the first time in a long time, units in downtown T.O. are getting snagged for around the $350,000 mark — one, in fact, sold for only $295,000 this week — with dozens currently available in the $300k range, which would have been unheard of just a few years ago.Here are some of the most affordable units on the market right now:1014-251 Jarvis StreetKW Living Realty, Brokerage/condos.caThis clean, bright studio may be small and cookie-cutter, but wha...

36 h. ago Here are the most and least expensive places in the GTA to buy a home right now

There are some major deals to be had for those wading into the Toronto real estate market these days — at least, when contrasted against the prices of just a few years ago — with the vast majority of the few homes switching hands now going for far under asking price.The newest reports from August 2025 show homes in the region are going for tens of thousands of dollars less than they were last year, with average prices ranging from $642,195 for a condo to $1.3 million for a standalone house — the latter especially, still nothing to scoff at, but a notable 7.5 per cent cheaper than this time last year.But regardless of how much GTA homes have depreciated in value and which areas are being the most drastically underbid, one may wonder what neighbourhoods have the cheapest properties overall in terms of dollar amount right now.Once again, local property platform Wahi has surveyed the market and has released a ...
