Dayam... just wow. That is gorgeous. And they didn't ruin it. Kitchen needs some love, but that house is simply wonderful. I hope the next owner keeps it just as wonderful. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

How can the most corrupt premier in the history of the province, with ties to tons of developers, proven to have sold favours for money to said developers - HOW IN ANY WAY COULD IT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR HIM TO CONTROL RECO?!?! Holy fuck, give your head a shake. torontolife.com/real-estate/...

I have family in Guelph, spent a LOT of time there over the years. I like that city a lot. Groovy, historic downtown area, good jobs, educated population. I'd live there. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

Rental construction is good, don't get me wrong. But wow, starts being the lowest in 30 years, that ain't good. That does NOT bode well for future housing supply. Carney's got his work cut out for him, increasing supply while starting from such a deficit. thehub.ca/2025/11/21/h...

Anytime mortgage delinquencies are brought up, I have to be sure to mention that we're running about 50% BELOW long-term averages. The 0.22% these days is WAY less than than the historical 0.34-0.35% average. Context is always important. www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/rea...

No kidding. Our employment options are dwindling. I read about people with solid degrees who don't get paid well. Armies of minimum wage slaves can't afford rent. We need to admit that a huge part of the housing crisis is more of an employment or wage crisis. financialpost.com/news/david-r...

Foundry Lofts authentic two-storey hard loft with ~1200sf of industrial charm & modern design. West-facing loft has 2 full bedrooms, 2 bathrooms & 2 parking spots. Soaring ceiling, exposed brick & warehouse windows create a space that feels vintage & expansive. www.jeffreyteam.com/homes-for-sa...

Damn... I love it. That is one of the better midcentury homes I've seen recently. And what a lovely piece of property it is on/ www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

How surprising. Some of the usual popular neighbourhoods are - wait for it - still popular. Crazy times we're living in... www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

You know how protective I am of Toronto heritage buildings, but this one doesn't really have a lot to offer. This is probably the best use for it these days. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

Well it certainly won't be very soon. The whole new condo industry needs to change its product line and target audience. That is no small task... and it is spread across dozens of companies. www.mpamag.com/ca/mortgage-...

Ah... French brutalism. What more could you want on a Friday afternoon? www.designboom.com/architecture...

So you need $142k to rent and owning is nuts, taking up more than the average person's entire income. Wowzers... this is not a good place to be. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

The ceilings... why the SHINY ceilings? That is so weird... www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/...

And that 0.22% is far below the longer term average of 0.34-0.35%. Don't lead fearmongering headlines fool you, mortgage delinquencies are actually really low these days, lower than you'd expect given the cost of things. www.ctvnews.ca/business/rea...

So does that show you need a pretty high income to even rent in Toronto, or does it show that $142k/year isn't enough to buy? Doesn't matter, point is, housing is too damn high. Period. www.torontotoday.ca/local/real-e...

Was never NOT normal. Not sure why we have this view that owning is the end all be all. It isn't for everyone. Some people rent, some people own. Just the way it is and always was. financialpost.com/real-estate/...

Oof, I didn't know the contract cancellations were court-ordered. I thought the new developer was just being greedy. I guess there are certain financial thresholds, new ones, that need to be met to make the project viable in the current environment. Still sucks. www.connectcre.ca/stories/most...

No kidding, no one is buying. It is a great buyers' market, but everything is SO quiet. Sellers are really not in a good place. And it will only get slower as we move toward Xmas with no real boost until at least mid-January. www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/...

Neat to see and all, but you really cannot compare real estate that is 1000s of km apart. Different provinces, cities, employment opportunities, cost of living, etc. www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/...

Gotta make sure to help out his developer buddies, eh? Even so, it IS a good idea and will help buyers. Only problem is how do we make sure that it doesn't just spur a whole bunch of investor-driven purchasing? Should only be for primary residences. www.thestar.com/real-estate/...

Sounds more like a single politician is fighting it, not the neighbourhood. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

And further proof of new home sales falling off. Partly just new construction needing to find a new path forward and probably part of the general sales malaise in real estate in general. But this will hurt in the future, we need WAY more housing and falling starts is bad. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

This is what I don't get. People waited for so long for the market to change, and it has been a strong buyers' market for months now, almost all year. And yet... sales are down. Mortgage rates are dropping, listings are up, prices are down. And yet, crickets. betterdwelling.com/canadian-rea...

Ouch. The language of the refusal is something. How do you submit something so lacking? Sounds like a cool plan for that spot, but wow, do they ever need to work on the submission. Did they hand over the rough draft and not the final copy? www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

There has been so much volatility in the past handful of years, from 2019 or so until now, that we forget what 'normal' is. And right now, monthly sales are trending pretty much in the normal range for the past 20 years. Nationally. Obviously with regional variations. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Expected? Sure, we are all 'expecting' things to pick up. Doesn't mean they will. September was better, which led me to 'expect' better from October. But no. And so we all shift to 'expecting' next spring to pick up. We shall see... toronto.citynews.ca/2025/11/17/o...

Look at all the infill housing, as just one example. Bungalows being replaced by 3,500sf McMansions. How about subdivisions full of 2,500sf houses. No one is building starter homes any more. Even small condos and stacked towns are $700k. www.durhamregion.com/news/a-crisi...

No real surprise. People are moving to more affordable areas. Makes sense as well, seeing as there are SO many properties for sale, but so few sales. Because the buyers are simply leaving. www.cp24.com/news/money/2...

Seeing the outside and like, wow... But then inside? Stripped all the character. Boo. Boring. What a shame. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

Ford's government hiding things? Relating to real estate...? Strange. Have to keep an eye on his buddies, see who gets some excess TDSB lands for pennies on the dollar. Be easier now that he's taken over the TDSB. Corruption right out in the open. Again. www.torontotoday.ca/local/educat...

Wouldn't put it past them. They stole Ontario Place & destroyed it. They stole the Science Centre and will destroy it. Why not steal the last interesting public space and ruin it as well? Complete the trilogy. I have faith in the Ford gov't to ALWAYS do what is worst. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

I don't think renters are afraid to decorate. It's more that rent takes up too much of their pay, they can't afford to decorate. Or they live in fear of being evicted for BS reasons, so why put the time and effort in. So smug and ignorant... wow... torontoguardian.com/2025/11/rent...

Why do we let NIMBYs do this? Not like Yorkville isn't full of tall towers, including 2 of the tallest in the entire country. Stupid... www.torontotoday.ca/local/real-e...

This is great. More corner stores and neighbourhood cafes is a good thing, no matter what NIMBYs say. I grew up with corner stores, my kids did not. And that's a shame. One more little piece of walkable cities, which we need to work to get back to. www.cp24.com/local/toront...

This is the problem with a majority government. They can do whatever they want. And this one does stuff that makes life worse for people. Removing speed cameras, defunding education, gutting green roofs. Not sure if malicious or stupid, but the result is the same. torontolife.com/real-estate/...

Fascinating. Would the return of co-op housing help alleviate the housing crisis? Doesn't hurt to try it and find out. www.connectcre.ca/stories/feds...

The government of fraud and grift running the real estate enforcement arm? How could that possibly go wrong? This is a terrible idea in so many ways. Does RECO need fixing? Yes. Does the entire real estate industry need an update? Also yes. But this is NOT the way. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ahh yes, the old "prices have gone up so let's fuck over our buyers so we can make more profit" scheme. How do we legally allow things like this to happen? A contract should be a contract. Shame on them. torontolife.com/real-estate/...

Fuck investors, lots of other people are having problems. How about the normal people who bought at One Bloor West who might have their contracts cancelled? How about construction workers laid off because projects don't start? There are other people to feel bad about. www.mpamag.com/ca/news/gene...

Isn't that crazy. Not unexpected, I guess. Land is becoming more scarce, espy downtown, so new projects have to get taller. But with the cratering of the new condo market this year, I wonder how that will ripple out into the future... realestatemagazine.ca/toronto-rise...

Yeah, no kidding. I thought the September numbers were indicating a bounce back up, but then October came in and pooh-poohed that. Guess we'll stay on pause until the spring, see what happens then. www.mpamag.com/ca/mortgage-...

Dayam... that would make a pretty solid investment. Live in one and rent the others. Sweet. AND THIS IS WHAT WE NEED MORE OF. This is gentle density. This is part of the missing middle. Taking a giant house and turning it into 6 homes, this is amazing... more please. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

Yes. That's the point. Inspection uncovers an issue, the buyer can either walk away or ask for a price reduction to offset the cost of remedying the problem. Or, the seller can fix it, though that is not the best option, liability-wise. www.durhamregion.com/business/rea...

That's the problem, isn't it? When it was introduced in the past, rental construction dried up. Which led to the advent of buying condos to rent them out. But, 2024 was a record year for rental construction, even with rent controls. We need to find a way. financialpost.com/real-estate/...

Umm... sorry, NIMBYs, ravines are extremely common in Toronto. And a smallish building on the edge of it, on the side of the road, just isn't going to have that big an impact. Stop getting in the way. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/11/11/b...

Another awesome bit of historical storytelling from @bobgeorgiouto.bsky.social make sure to check it out scenesto.com/2025/11/11/t...

It's an interesting proposal, but I am REALLY loathe to touch such an historic building. Yes, we need more rentals, but is that really the right spot for them? www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

Ah yes, the same thing that got Toronto into its financial mess... Have to make sure to lower taxes before the next election to woo voters. And people are dumb enough to vote for it. Leaving the city short of funds, as it has been for a couple of decades now. www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...

Good lord people, this is the worst kind of NIMBYism. Let's keep a parking lot to avoid building needed housing near a transit line. Why do we allow these people a voice? www.blogto.com/real-estate-...
