33 h. ago Toronto seeing most new home listings in Canada but hardly anyone is buying

Predictions that Toronto's housing market would see a triumphant return of the enthusiasm and heat it's historically known for have fallen flat thus far, with sales continuing to dwindle far below hopes and expectations, and new listings continuing to pour onto the market.Nearly 20,000 homes are now up for sale within the GTA, per the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB)'s numbers for January, marking a worrying 48.6 per cent uptick in new listings and 70.2 per cent increase in active listings compared to this time last year.The number of sales transactions, meanwhile, has fallen 7.9 per cent over the same time frame, disheartening realtors and sellers who were expecting a bounceback after an abysmal 2024.RBC economists really put these numbers into perspective in a new special housing report that this month compared how the real estate scenes in major cities across Canada are faring.One graph shows Toronto to have the third-biggest year-over...

Even over a quarter century after his last NHL game, few people in the sporting world can draw eyeballs quite like Wayne Gretzky.Prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game last night in Boston, Gretzky joined Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby, American captain Auston Matthews, and 1980 Olympic gold medallist Mike Eruzione for the ceremonial puck drop.Gretzky was named the honorary captain on the evening for Team Canada, but it wasn't without a few eyebrows being raised. He entered the ice from the American bench, gave a thumbs up to the American players, and appeared to not even acknowledge Canada nor wear any gear for the team.Gretzky:Enters through US benchGives thumbs up to US playersWears no red or NOTHING repping CanadaDoesn’t even look Team Canada’s wayHe’s a traitor & MAGA cowardGood riddance. #4nations pic.twitter.com/1YqguI3yqF— Alex 🇨🇦 (@alex_upnorth) February 21, 2025Gretzky hasn't exactly kept his political thoughts hidden over the last...

41 h. ago Hard loft meets cabin vibes in this unconventional $4.5 million Ontario house

It's rare for a listing to outright say that a property might not be "right" for a buyer.Generally, sales strategies are employed to maximize the potential buyer pool, not minimize it. But 55 Chisholm St. is a very unconventional home, so when Engelbrecht Associates say "this is not a property for everyone," it kind of makes sense. The main floor. Located in West Harbour in Oakville, this three-bedroom, four-bathroom house is a bold mix of industrial design and the cozy charm of a Muskoka cottage. The dining room. You have a soapstone fireplace mixed with polished concrete floors juxtaposed with a hyper-modern bright blue Scavolini kitchen. It shouldn't work, but somehow it does. The living room. The main floor of the house is an open concept space, where every room flows together. The fireplace. At the heart of the space is the soapstone fireplace that is reminicent of Swedish tile hearths that are used to heat homes, as t...
