11 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...

12 h. ago What it will be like to use Canada's new largest border crossing in Ontario

Canada and the U.S. are inching ever closer to the opening of the highly-anticipated Gordie Howe International Bridge, which will soon serve as the largest border crossing between the two countries, as well as the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America.As we approach the seventh anniversary of work starting on the gargantuan infrastructure project, residents stand just months away from actually being able to use it. And, the team working to wrap things up on the ground continues to drum up excitement with extraordinary drone footage, behind-the-scenes looks, and other updates.The latest is a mini-tour of some of the border checkpoint's facilities, including a drive-through of an inspection lane and the secondary inspection area once vehicles cross the six-lane, 2.5-kilometre-long viaduct over the Detroit River into Windsor, Ontario.A clip posted to the project's official YouTube page on Thursday takes viewers through one of the crossing's five-meter ta...

Toronto is still quite resembling a ski town after a barrage of snowstorms that have made this season feel like the first proper Canadian winter we've had in a while.The City has since said cleanup efforts are set to take a few weeks, and while residents are climbing over snowbanks and navigating narrow sidewalks in the meantime, it can be hard to imagine that spring is just around the corner.And, even before springtime officially kicks off on March 20, Ontario will be treated to some later sunsets that will be a welcome change to the depths of winter that we are just emerging from.The days have been getting longer since the winter solstice on December 21, and we've since made it past the 10 the darkest weeks of what is, for many, the most dispiriting season.In just over two weeks, clocks will "spring forward" an hour, marking the start of another cycle of Daylight Saving Time, and bringing with it an extra hour of daylight in the evening...

19 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...
