7 h. ago Toronto house with visible holes in roof still expected to fetch $700,000

A Toronto home at 37 Allister Ave. has been in rough shape since 2018, when it sold for $777,000 — sight basically unseen.Back then, potential buyers weren't even allowed inside. The listing stated that viewings were limited to "walking the lot" with the agent, and that's probably what the buyers did since they never managed to do anything with the derelict three-bedroom, three-bathroom home.Eventually, they gave up on the house and sold it at a loss in 2024 for $750,000.The front of the house. Now, a year later, the property is in even worse condition. The roof is collapsing, gaping holes expose the interior to the elements, windows are boarded up with plywood, and the backyard has been swallowed by weeds.It's more haunted house than fixer-upper at this point.But it's back on the market—this time asking just $688,000, which is a full 30 per cent less than last month's hopeful $999,990 price tag. Clearly, that d...

39 h. ago Here's the lowest salary you need to afford a home in Toronto right now

Toronto's housing market may still be taking a prolonged (and for many, extremely stressful) pause, but a lack of momentum doesn't mean that real estate in and around the city is getting any more affordable.Local firms like Ratehub.ca have been regularly reporting on average home prices in the region and the income needed to cover them each month, and June's data still spells out what most locals have come to accept over the years: that hell may indeed freeze over before owning a home is as attainable here as in comparable cities around the world.Based on Ratehub's latest data, released Friday, a slight increase in lending rates month-over-month has worsened affordability in almost all of Canada's major markets, compounded by the fact that prices are slowly starting to rise again as would-be buyers give up waiting on the sidelines for costs to potentially improve.As the company explains, "upward pressure has been steadily buildi...

55 h. ago This $1 million Toronto house has been owned by the same family since 1949

A home at 71 Eighth St. in Etobicoke hasn't been on the market in 75 years, and I have to say, there's something incredibly special about a Toronto house that hasn't changed hands for the better part of a century.Built in 1949 and owned by the same family ever since, this two-storey mid-century gem is packed with old-school charm, original details, and just enough quirks to get your renovation gears turning without the daunting fear of a total gut-job.Tucked on a quiet corner lot in the lakeside neighbourhood of New Toronto, the house is surrounded by mature trees, including a magnolia that gives it serious storybook vibes.An aerial view of the house. The 125-foot-deep lot is a rare find in the city, and with a detached garage and private double-wide drive, you've got room for up to four vehicles (or a workshop, studio, or even a backyard sports court).The upstairs landing. Inside, the home is surprisingly spacious.The living room. The main floor ...

The phrase "they don’t make 'em like they used to" applies to many things, but is especially true for houses. That being said, a historic home doesn't have to mean a dated state of living.

The newly renovated open-concept kitchen features a generous island, quartz countertops and backsplash, modern appliances, and ample storage space.This kitchen is truly the heart of the home.While the Cavana House may be old, it by no means requires any renovations.
