5 d. ago Historic Toronto mansion that's now 6 luxury apartments up for grabs at $5 million

While some Toronto historic property conversions on High Park Ave. have... uhh... stalled, this majestic old home at 178 High Park Ave. is definitely not one of them. In fact, I would say it's thriving.  When the seven-bedroom house sold back in 2018, it was a tired, late-1800s Queen Anne Victorian single-family home that had been in the same family for over 60 years and it was in dire need of some upgrades. And boy, did it ever receive a glow-up! Listing agent Edward Wang told blogTO that the seller went to extraordinary lengths to preserve the home's original character, replicating every door panel and matching door heights to the late-1800s design, restoring all the original crown moulding that had been hidden by a drop ceiling, and carefully saving the original ceiling medallions and tin ceiling tiles.The foyer of the owner's suite. Now, 178 High Park Ave. has been meticulously restored, renovated, and reimagined with the ...

1 week ago Toronto housing market is dying and here's how much average prices have dropped

Home sales and prices in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) continue to plummet to historic lows. These trends continued through October 2025, casting further doubt on the future of the region's turbulent housing market.The latest data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) highlights continued market challenges affecting homeowners and sellers, while the ever-falling cost of a home in the region offers a ray of hope for would-be homebuyers who have been priced out of the market throughout the last decade of runaway land values.TRREB's Oct. 2025 data reveals that home sales have once again declined year-over-year in the region, with 6,138 home sales representing a 9.5 per cent drop over the same period in 2024.The City of Toronto registered 155 fewer home sales year-over-year, while 905-region sales declined by 491 homes.

2 w. ago Here's why you should still be happy after Toronto Blue Jays lose World Series

The Toronto Blue Jays' historic 2025 World Series run was really more than anyone could have asked for, and while fans coast to coast to coast may be feeling more than a bit depressed right now, there is still so much reason to celebrate.This isn't an article I was hoping to write, and probably not the one you were hoping to read today. We were two outs from a World Series title, only to see it evaporate before our eyes. That's going to hurt for a lot of us, and it's understandable. But, if you hear me out, maybe together, we can convert some of that inconsolable pain into pride for what was accomplished, and hope for what's to come next.For starters, only the most starry-eyed, wildly optimistic fans could have predicted World Series contention for the Toronto Blue Jays this year. And even then, few would have believed them.Managing to go from a laughingstock bottom-feeder to a top-two league juggernaut in the span of one season — without adding m...
