3 d. ago No one is building condos in Toronto anymore as market hits 20

Almost every piece of data that has emerged about Toronto real estate in the last year-plus has served as a disheartening blow to anyone with a stake in the market, as the city's once-scorching sector has slowed to a crawl — and keeps waning further.The latest analysis, published by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) on Monday, reinforces that the country's new condo market specifically is in a state of deep turmoil, especially in locales like Toronto and Vancouver, where the housing type has long been a boon to investors.The national housing agency says that as of May, housing starts nationwide have fallen slightly from this time last year, mostly driven by "weak condominium market conditions" in both Toronto and Vancouver that have pulled the stats for these hubs down drastically below this national average.The west coast city broke ground on 10 per cent fewer homes over the co...

2 w. ago Majority of homes in Toronto now selling below asking as real estate market tanks

It's been a pivotal few years for Toronto-area real estate, with fewer homes finding new owners than ever in recent memory, all while the market is inundated with tens of thousands of new listings that are sitting unsold for weeks.As unbelievably stressful as this period has been for sellers, realtors and developers, it has given aspiring buyers a serious leg up, with far greater selection and the newfound power to barter down prices.As such, more and more homes in and around the city are selling for under their asking price, a complete 180 from what was once the norm in a city known to be overvalued and popular for bidding wars.Imbalance between supply and demand in Toronto's housing market hits all-time record https://t.co/sMiSc6ejlx— blogTO (@blogTO) June 4, 2025The latest report on the trend, published by local agency Wahi on Thursday, shows that the market's downfall is still going strong, with more neighbourhoods now in "und...

2 w. ago $800,000 Toronto house looks like it's been trapped in the past

You know a house has been off the market for a long time when it still runs on an oil furnace.Sure, there are technically still 610,000 households in Canada clinging to oil heating. But in Ontario, under five per cent of homes use oil heating, and finding one in Toronto? Practically unheard of.Yet that's just one of many relics from the past you'll find at 18 Scarlett Rd., a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that hasn't quite made it into the 21st century.The front hall. The listing describes it as "full of original vintage character," and yes, that is just real estate code for "needs work." The dining area in the kitchen. Although there are some redeeming vintage qualities.The living room. For example, the stone fireplace, the arched doorways, and apparently buried underneath that horrible green carpeting is hidden hardwood flooring, just waiting to be uncovered.A bedroom. Still, this place hasn't seen ...
