2 w. ago This $2 million home is like a Bali retreat in the heart of Toronto

In a Toronto neighbourhood where homes typically sell for nearly $7 million, the asking price of a newly-listed house at 329 Glen Rd. sure feels like a bargain, because everything is relative.Listed at $1,979,000, this Rosedale property is far below the usual asking price—but there's a reason.For starters, there's only one bedroom, which raises eyebrows for a house that's on a 30-by-136-foot lot. The only bedroom. And then there's the transformation... What would be a traditional Rosedale home has been reimagined as a full-on Bali tropical retreat.The jungle-themed bathroom. The jungle-inspired upper level is the real showstopper, with a retractable glass wall that opens the space completely to the outdoors.The indoor waterfall. A dramatic indoor waterfall wall adds to the resort vibes, creating an indoor-outdoor experience you wouldn't expect to find hiding in the heart of Toronto.A wine cellar. Oversized rooms, curated g...

3 w. ago Here's how much the average home in Toronto is expected to cost by 2032

Toronto's housing market has been struggling lately, with the golden era — when local real estate was a surefire profitable investment — seemingly far behind us.While sales have fallen flat for many months and prices are hurtling downwards, the latest predictions for the industry still foresee the average home in the city getting more expensive in the coming years, albeit not to the degree that many may have assumed (or, for existing homeowners, hoped).A report on the topic that is making headlines this week comes from Concordia University's John Molson School of Business, researchers from which controversially employed AI to anticipate real estate trends across Canada and, based on those figures, suggest relevant public policy reforms.The analysis starts off by citing a "period of crisis" that it says has dominated the market not just in Toronto, but across Canada, fueled by &qu...

Some houses feel like they've been plucked straight out of another era, but 547 Ossington Ave. has literally been living in the same decade since The Beatles were still all alive and together.For the first time since 1965, the charming corner property at Dewson St. and Ossington Ave. is up for grabs, and walking inside feels like cracking open a perfectly preserved time capsule.We're talking teal-blue carpet, a wood-panelled basement and retro brown kitchen tiles. The only thing missing is a swirl of groovy wallpaper and a pastel pink toilet.The living room. If you can look past — or fully embrace — the retro vibes, this place is actually a rare downtown gem.The kitchen. 547 Ossington Ave. is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-storey house with a centre-hall layout and a private drive with a detached garage — a combo so scarce in this area of Toronto, you might expect it to come with a velvet rope and an admission fee...
