31 h. ago 10 condos you can buy for less than $400k in downtown Toronto right now

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...

38 h. ago New pub replaces Toronto bar that closed after 16 years in business

A Toronto bar with a cult following closed down last winter after 16 years, and it's finally been replaced.It's been eight months since cult-favourite Dundas West sports bar (and former home of Slammie Sammies), Opera Bob's, closed its doors after 16 years, much to the disappointment and dismay of its devoted regulars.The pub was a local staple for a casual drink, lively night out, and especially for Manchester City football match screenings, as the Manchester City Football Club Toronto has called the bar home for nearly as long as it's been around.Last year, during the Premier League championships, it even got a considerable shout-out from the New York Times.Alas, as Nelly Furtado once said, all good things come to an end, and, in the winter of 2024, the pub closed its doors for good, setting its devoted fanbase adrift, searching for somewhere new to take root.Now, at long last, the space has officially gotten a new lease on life, and Opera ...

39 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 ...
