As if we needed more facts and figures to remind us how bad Canada's economy is at present, a new report has offered a glimpse into just how many people nationwide have been unable to cover their major bills, with mortgage delinquency in particular at an all-time high.And, residents of Ontario are the worst culprits.The data, published by Equifax Canada this week, comes from the final months of 2024, a year in which consumer debt across the country grew by 4.6 per cent, to a total of an unthinkable $2.56 trillion.Though falling lending rates over the course of the year helped to relieve the debts of some, the credit company says that "financial pressures intensified" for many others, especially those with mortgages in our two most exorbitant provinces for property: Ontario and B.C.When looking at the fourth quarter of the year versus the same time in 2023, there was a shocking 90.2 per cent increase in the number of Ontarians who hadn't made a mortgage ...

52 h. ago Toronto house listed for just $1 is primed for a bidding war

In this slow real estate market, some realtors are thinking outside the box to get their house to sell. Take 218 Bogert Ave., for example. This three-bedroom, three-bathroom home in West Lansing has been on and off the market four times since 2023 without selling. The living room. It was first listed for $1,599,000, but after a month on the market, owners took it down. They then performed a couple of upgrades in the house, like painting the kitchen cabinets, and re-listed it for $1,698,000.But, it still didn't sell.  A bedroom. Most recently, it was listed again for $1,888,000. But still, you guessed it: no bites. A bathroom. Now, the realtors have opted to list 218 Bogert Ave. for just $1, hoping maybe they'll get lucky and spark a bidding war that will get the owners closer to their desired selling price. A bedroom. It does seem a bit strange that the involved parties have ...
