7 d. ago Carbon monoxide rules to change in Ontario for 2026 and update affects most homes

Ontario is rolling out new, strict carbon monoxide safety rules, and they'll affect almost every type of home across the province next year. Starting Jan. 1, 2026, updates to the Ontario Fire Code will expand where carbon monoxide alarms are required in houses, apartments, condos, as well as rental units, and here's everything you need to know. Carbon monoxide (CO), often referred to as the "silent killer," is an invisible, odourless gas produced when fuels, such as propane or natural gas, do not burn completely in appliances, including furnaces, stoves, hot water heaters, and gas or wood fireplaces. The provincial government notes that over 65 per cent of CO-related injuries and deaths in Ontario happen in the home, hence the updated regulations. If you live in a house, a CO alarm must be installed if you have a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, attached garage, or if your home is heated by air from a fuel-burning appliance that is not co...

7 d. ago Here's what experts predict will happen to Ontario's housing market in 2026

It's been another flop of a year for Canadian real estate, with once-frantic markets like Toronto now slowed nearly to a halt.The present recession, higher post-COVID interest rates, and more active listings than ever from people desperate to liquidate led to pitiful sales numbers and sinking price points over most of 2024, which worsened drastically in 2025.But, looking ahead, is there any hope for recovery for developers and homeowners? Or, will things plummet even further, presenting an opportunity for first-time buyers to get into the market for far less than they would have had to pay in years past — even this year?As we approach December, experts are releasing their predictions for the sector in the coming months, including RE/MAX, which just dropped its 2026 Canadian Housing Market Outlook.According to the firm, which is, of course, one of the biggest names in the industry, the average Canadian home will indeed ...

1 week ago 300km/h train through Ontario will happen years earlier than expected

Construction on one of the most ambitious and expensive transportation infrastructure projects to ever be undertaken in Canadian history is now targeted to begin before the end of this decade.Embedded within Prime Minister Mark Carney's 2025 budget for the Government of Canada earlier this month, the federal government highlighted that Alto — the country's first high-speed rail line project — will see its engineering, regulatory, and permitting work accelerated.This will enable construction on Alto to begin in four years — as early as 2029 — instead of the original timeline of in eight years, towards the middle of the 2030s, as previously stated in early 2025, when the federal government announced the selection of a private consortium to lead the project and its decision to evolve the project from a high-frequency rail (HFR) standard to a far more superior high-speed rail (HSR) mode.Alto will operate over a distance of roughly 1,000 km between Toronto...

3 w. ago This $600K Toronto house is basically a parking spot with a mystery shack on top

Toronto's parking situation is almost as ridiculous as it's housing market. There are parking spots in the downtown core selling for over $100,000. But if you really want a parking spot that also comes with a bedroom, look no further than 587 Craven Rd. The front porch. This detached bungalow in Leslieville has been sitting on the market for months, and it's back with a major price drop. The backyard. 587 Craven Rd. is listed at just $599,000, down from its original $899,000 asking price. The garage with bungalow. The listing boasts a "rare detached raised bungalow with garage and parking," which is technically true... but when a house has more parking spaces than bedrooms or bathrooms, it's more garage than liveable home.I guess you could think of it as an upgrade from sleeping in your car — by, like, one floor.Missing window frames could be a sign of what awaits on the i...

4 w. ago There are only 6 GTA neighbourhoods where homes still sell above asking price

The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) housing market is totally in the dumps right now, but as home prices tumble across the region and the supply of properties for sale increases far beyond projections, there are still a few places where sellers are raking in figures above asking price.New October data from real estate firm Wahi offers a glimpse behind the curtain at the remaining pockets of the GTA where buyers can still command bidding wars, fetching prices over asking. But they certainly aren't in abundance, with just six remaining neighbourhoods out of almost 300 in the entire region where homes are selling for more than the list price — accounting for just two per cent of the entire GTA.Underbidding only increased last month, with a noticeable month-over-month spike from September. The 2 per cent of neighbourhoods with overbids in October is a sharp decline from the 8 per cent recorded in September 2025.WahiWahi Economist Ryan McLaughlin notes that analysts had seen si...
