18 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...

26 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 ...

5 d. ago Toronto is the only major Canadian city where 'rental burden' is easing

If you couldn't tell by all of the rent incentives and declining monthly rates, tenants in Ontario are breathing a little easier lately as the market cools down, especially in Toronto.Condos in particular are no longer the boon to investors that they once were, and it seems that the downturn of the city's real estate market is translating over to rentals, too, with ample supply, far less fervent demand and other factors continuing to push prices lower pretty much across the board.Multiple reports have outlined how the cost of an ordinary unit in the 6ix (and other parts of the region) has gradually decreased, most recently to $2,618 — marking a 3.3 per cent drop from this time last year — according to the most recent numbers from Urbanation and Rentals.ca.The two firms crunch the numbers each month in their joint National Rent Report, and the recently released September edition bolsters a point that other authorities have recently made: that&n...

6 d. ago Toronto home in the same family since 1913 just hit the market for $1 million

When you picture a family home being passed down through generations, you probably imagine sprawling estates — Downton Abbey vibes, rolling lawns, maybe even a butler.But not every legacy home comes with acres and chandeliers.Sometimes, it looks a lot more like 22 Seymour Ave., a humble Toronto detached house that's been in the same family since 1913.The wood panelling and staircase let you know this isn't a new build. That's 111 years of dinners, birthdays, and probably more than a few regrettable decor choices, like the terrazzo vinyl stairs.The front entrance. But now, for the first time ever, it's ready for someone new to take over.The dining room. The house itself is small but classic, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and sits on a 25-by-105-foot lot.The living room. The main floor features your standard living room, dining room, and kitchen, complete with original hardwood, a stained-glass window, and moulding — though ...

8 d. ago Toronto real estate getting desperate as homes sit on market for ages

The rocky road for Toronto real estate continues as property owners face a dire new reality where sales are falling flat, values are inching downwards, new developments are at a standstill and units that would have once sparked a bidding war are now near-impossible to sell.Though this summer has brought glimmers of a rebound as far as sales volumes — a number which, as recently as May, has been down double-digit percentages compared to the same time last year — there are still a substantial number of properties sitting stagnant on the market, and, per the latest report from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), they are taking progressively longer to sell, if they sell at all.In August, 14,038 new condos, townhouses, semi-detached houses and standalone homes came to market across the GTA (9.4 per cent more than in August 2024), making for a total of an astounding 27,495 active listings — less than the 32,082 ho...

8 d. ago Two condos in Toronto heritage home just hit the market for almost $5 million each

Toronto doesn't exactly make it easy to find a condo with character. Most new builds lean glassy and generic, but every once in a while, a project comes along that merges history with luxury in a way that feels genuinely special.That's precisely what's happened at 62 Charles St. E., where the 1885 Second Empire Victorian has been completely restored on the outside and is now totally customizable on the inside.Known as the Thomas Smith and Arthur Coleman Houses, the semi-detached homes were originally built by Toronto contractor Arthur Coleman in partnership with painter Thomas Smith.A digital image of the kitchen and dining room of the lower unit. Their distinctive Second Empire style — mansard roofs, patterned slate shingles, buff-brick details, and double-door entrances — still stands proud today after a painstaking exterior restoration.Fun fact, the restoration only happened because it was part of deal the developer Cresford h...

2 w. ago Toronto 'ghost hotel' in Kensington Market is being sold under power of sale

Kensington Market has always been one of Toronto's most fiercely protected neighbourhoods — but that hasn't stopped developers from circling like vultures overhead.In recent years, locals have seen large plots of land listed and developers trying to turn the quirky neighbourhood into another conglomeration of high-density condo developments. For the most part, plans to redevelop the Toronto neighbourhood have been thwarted or put on hold. However, one significant chunk of Kensington Market has just hit the market under the power of sale, and could become the next ground zero in the area's longstanding battle with developers. Tucked down a quiet laneway off Baldwin Street, 38 Kensington Pl. is a former rental three-storey walk-up with seven oversized units spread across more than 14,000 square feet of leasable space.An open-concept unit on the ground floor. The building, which once drew attention as one of the many so-cal...
