Despite Toronto's impractical cost of living, the stress of the trade war and the nation's casual economic recession and all, it's a pretty great time to get into GTA real estate if that's always been a dream of yours.Sellers are getting desperate as new listings continue to indundate the market while sales numbers remain a shadow of what they once were.The downward spiral has been been especially bad for condos, and worse, still, for new condos — so bad that a growing number of complexes have been stalled in various stages of progress, with not enough units sold to continue.Naturally, this has been cause for alarm among stakeholders on the building side of things, who continue to plead for the government to intervene in the form of lowering certain taxes, development charges and other fees that hamper new construction.The Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) and Canada Mortgage and Housing C...

27 h. ago Tariff uncertainty is affecting Canadian real estate and Ontario is hardest hit

While spring is typically the busiest time of the year to buy a home as more properties become available and competition increases, the housing market this season appears to be in a bit of a decline in Canada —and especially in Ontario — amid the ongoing trade war with the United States. According to a new report from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), home sales in the country fell sharply from January to February, as many prospective home buyers chose to remain on the sidelines due to the threat of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. Sales activity recorded over Canadian MLS Systems dropped 9.8 per cent month over month in February, marking the lowest level for home sales since November 2023, and the largest month-over-month decline in activity since May 2022. "The moment tariffs were first announced on January 20, a gap opened between home sales recorded this year and last. This trend continued to widen throughout February, leadin...

The enormous Gordie Howe International Bridge was supposed to be a game changer for cross-border trade, but the $6.4 billion bridge linking Canada and the U.S. is looking more and more like a white elephant amid a worsening trade war and American threats of annexation.Spanning the Detroit River between Michigan and Ontario, the bridge was hailed as a new symbol of cooperation between the two nations and longtime trade partners until cross-border relations fell apart in early 2025.Instead, it has become a symbol of the deteriorating relationship between the two nations, and if tariffs remain long-term, the Gordie Howe International Bridge may never live up to its true potential as a cog in the busy international shipping corridor.The new crossing — which officially became North America's longest cable-stayed bridge in 2024 —was designed to relieve overcrowded crossings linking Detroit and Windsor while filling a missing link in the international trucking corridor between ...
