3 h. ago Edmonton's best concerts 2025: The Roots, Sarah McLachlan and Sigur Ros made for a sweet year

Whether this was a banner year for concerts here is a subjective call, depending on your taste.   At first glance, 2025 felt like a chipperly typical one, especially compared to 2024 and how 2026 is already shaping up – at least on the flashy, super-promoted surface of the giant stadium and arena events.  Still, like this summer’s Edmonton Folk Music Festival, the year vibrated with legendary stuff going on in the wings, and we’ll get there in a sec.  But starting big, notable concerts included nostalgia runs by Bryan Adams, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, a raucous […]

10 h. ago Toronto home prices were hit harder than any other major Canadian city in 2025

Toronto home prices took the biggest hit out of any major Canadian city in 2025, according to new data which reveals the national housing market is slipping into a year-over-year decline for the first time after months of flat prices. Real estate platform Wahi and Canadian property valuation services provider Real Property Solutions (RPS) released their monthly House Price Index for November 2025, which tracks actual home values in more than 1,000 cities and towns across the country and shows how property values change over time. The national RPS-Wahi House Price Index fell one per cent compared with November 2024, marking the first annual decline in national home prices since mid-2023. Nationally, prices have softened across all property types, with condos seeing the sharpest drop (down six per cent year-over-year). To compare, detached home prices were unchanged, while row and townhouses saw a decline of one per cent, and semi-detached home price...

10 h. ago Forgotten Toronto house surrounded by apartments and strip mall is asking $865K

Toronto real estate is baffling on a good day and fully unhinged on a bad one.Today's star of the show: 10 Cedar Dr.This two-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow last sold in 2009 for a very reasonable $299,800, back when Toronto housing made some kind of loose sense.At the time, the listing bragged that "thousands of dollars" had been poured into renovating the basement apartment. We can't confirm if that meant granite countertops or just a new coat of beige paint, since there were no photos. Mysterious.Fast forward to now, and the house looks less "cozy fixer-upper" and more "set of a post-apocalyptic indie film."There are traffic cones casually vibing on the driveway, garbage scattered across the lawn, and dead weeds galore.The current listing, however, is staying positive.It describes the property as a "distinctive opportunity offering endless possibilities for the creative buyer."Which is bold, considering it's wedged betw...
