16 h. ago Toronto home bought in the '70s for $64K just hit the market for over $1 million

Can you believe a downtown Toronto house once sold for just $64,000?That's exactly what Gerry Gold paid for 6 Prospect St., a charming central Cabbagetown Victorian, back in 1978."I bought this house in 1978 and have been living here ever since," Gold told blogTO.  "Now that I'm in retirement, I'm planning to move to Delta Road Cottage," a renowned project he completed about 12 years ago with the help of Teeple Architects.The front entrance. For architecture fans, Teeple Architects' portfolio is mostly academic institutional projects and multi-family residential projects, but Delta Road Cottage shows the firm's genius with smaller-scaled projects, and if you haven't seen it, it's worth a Google.A stained glass transom and exposed brick walls add character to the main floor. Back on Prospect Street, the home itself is a treasure trove of classic character.The main floor of the house. Listing agent...

9 d. ago Nobody buys Toronto homes anymore as market disintegration continues

The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) new home market has completely fallen off a cliff, and practically nobody is willing to risk investing in real estate as sales figures continue their race to the bottom.October marked the 13th consecutive month of record-breaking lows for home sales, and if last year's historic lows had sellers biting their nails, the latest figures from the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) look even more menacing for anyone hoping to sell their property.According to BILD's October GTA sales figures released on Tuesday, the 570 homes sold region-wide last month marked a 29 per cent dip from the previous historic low recorded the year before, and a staggering 81 per cent lower than the ten-year average for October sales.The shift in demand has hit the condo market hardest, with sales figures dropping to laughably low levels last month.A record-low of just 54 condos were sold in Toronto last month. This figure represents just about one-th...

Maybe it's because I just binge-watched Trading Up with Mandy Rennehan the second it dropped on Netflix, but I full-on gasped when I saw this Toronto home.Tucked along one of Weston's prettiest, most character-soaked streets, 49 Queens Dr. is a bona fide 19th-century gem that just hit the market for under $800,000.Now, yes — that's still about eight times what you'd pay for something similar in Yarmouth, N.S., but for Toronto?

3 w. ago Historic Toronto mansion that's now 6 luxury apartments up for grabs at $5 million

While some Toronto historic property conversions on High Park Ave. have... uhh... stalled, this majestic old home at 178 High Park Ave. is definitely not one of them. In fact, I would say it's thriving.  When the seven-bedroom house sold back in 2018, it was a tired, late-1800s Queen Anne Victorian single-family home that had been in the same family for over 60 years and it was in dire need of some upgrades. And boy, did it ever receive a glow-up! Listing agent Edward Wang told blogTO that the seller went to extraordinary lengths to preserve the home's original character, replicating every door panel and matching door heights to the late-1800s design, restoring all the original crown moulding that had been hidden by a drop ceiling, and carefully saving the original ceiling medallions and tin ceiling tiles.The foyer of the owner's suite. Now, 178 High Park Ave. has been meticulously restored, renovated, and reimagined with the ...
