Love the idea of greening up old buildings. Makes a ton of sense to retrofit them to make them more energy efficient. From old apartment buildings to old condos. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Fascinating. Prices down 5.4% and rents down 4%. Nice to see buyers & renters getting a bit of a break, even if it is only a little break. Better than prices & rents rising! www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Much of the same old popular neighbourhoods as we always see in these lists, but interesting to see Scarborough on there... www.insauga.com/homes-are-se...

Well now there is the first reasonable discussion of this condo plan. With math. Without bias. Just laying it out. Seems like it makes a lot more sense than we have been told. vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

I sure love laneway housing. And this one is pretty amazing. I just wish they didn't cost as much as a normal house to build. When they first came about as of right, you could get away with $150-250k. Now it is at least triple that, probably more. www.dezeen.com/2024/01/11/r...

What a nonsense study. Obviously corporate landlords aren't buying houses. And studying private vs. corp landlords by the share of $ value of ownership? Huh? Why not by # of units owned. And condos/apts are the main segment, why bring freehold houses into it? Bizarre. www.ctvnews.ca/business/rea...

This is BAD. Bulk buying is BAD. We need to outlaw corporate buying of private residences. realestatemagazine.ca/bulk-condo-b...

Love to see inside the original part. Gorgeous frontage, at least they left that alone. www.dezeen.com/2026/07/06/g...

They better be careful, don't fuck up one of Toronto's last remaining (mostly) untouched heritage buildings. This could be pretty cool, my fingers are crossed. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

This is a perfect exmaple of why it is hard to scale up construction. In order to meet new housing needs, we'd need to double or triple the current building pace. Where would we find another 240-480 tower cranes? And operators? urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/07...

Certainly, real estate could rebound. Or not. But, for buyers, at some point prices will stop falling. It won't be a buyers' market forever. Thing is, the "perfect" time to buy is different for everyone. Don't let headlines guide you. ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/posthas...

Always makes sense to add density at transit hubs. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/07...

Why not, if they've bought them for below construction costs, pass them along to actual buyers? Maybe even shave a little more off the price. That would be a nice way to give something to buyers, especially young buyers. www.ipolitics.ca/2026/07/06/a...

Why would sales 'spike' in the second half of the year? They are already up, up for 4 months in a row. They may stay on the rise, but don't expect anything too exciting. torontolife.com/real-estate/...

'Tis fascinating, how condos are really in the toilet. New home sales up with the rebates, but not new condos. Home resales are up, condos not so much. Prices still falling, but condos fall more. What will it take to bring life back to the segment? torontolife.com/real-estate/...

Enacting it didn't save housing either. financialpost.com/real-estate/...

Imperial Lofts, the 1910 home to the Imperial Optical Company, converted into authentic loft residences in 1997 while preserving its remarkable architectural details. Soaring 10.5' ceiling, original hardwood floors, exposed brick walls & original timber beams. www.jeffreyteam.com/homes-for-sa...

Think. Of. The. BUGS. All that to live in a swamp... www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

LOVE the entry. LOVE the stairs. Hate the rest. Just the same old Blandinavian, lots of white walls and blonde wood. Boring. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

And buyers, some of them at least, are taking advantage. I would have though prices would stop falling months ago, but I was wrong. But sales are up, so it is working for some people. Curious how long it lasts... realestatemagazine.ca/foch-the-gta...

Power of the people! nowtoronto.com/culture/how-...

Sort of... This is the 4th straight month of rising sales. Rising from low levels, yes, but still rising. Listings are down and prices are still falling, so I am not sure how much 'waking up' there is right now. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

There's a solid prediction. Prices MIGHT go up. Might. Good job. www.cp24.com/news/money/2...

Pretty neat how it grew from the one tunnel to what it is today. torontoguardian.com/2026/07/the-... And the awesome Steve discusses more Toronto tunnels (and TONS of other cool Toronto stuff). www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1hL...

We'll see. Four months of rising sales and NO rising prices is weird. The economy doesn't support rising prices. And sales may not continue to rise, ending any upward pressure. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wait, WHAT? What happened to the Richard Bigley Lofts? Did they all sell out and ruin one of the coolest and most exclusive conversions in Toronto? For a boring old condo? Boo... urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/07...

"... households do not buy press releases. They buy payments... [and] Mortgage rates are lower than the peak, but financing is still expensive compared with the cheap-debt era." Sales are up, new listings are down & active inventory is lower - but prices fell. realestatemagazine.ca/foch-the-gta...

And yet, even with such a buyers' market and with prices reset to pre-COVID levels, the market isn't bouncing back and heading upward. Sales rising, yes, but that's about it. Be an interesting summer... realestatemagazine.ca/toronto-cond...

Still weird, sales rising for 4 straight months and prices falling each month over that time. And prices are falling from already low levels. Still a nice buyers' market out there, lots of listings to choose from and prices going down.

Not sure there was ever an "aversion" to tall buildings, probably more just wasn't the financial incentive. Until there was. www.theb1m.com/video/why-ca...

I always support any building with a flatiron shape. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/06...

What a shame... for all of us who grew up in a house like that, or had grandparents with a house like that. You just know it is going to be bought and then infilled or reno'ed into oblivion. What a shame. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

One of the good things to come out of the collapse of the new condo market is the rise in purpose-built rentals. Makes more sense than the crowd-sourced way we were doing it, with condos being aimed at investors who were just renting them out anyway. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/06...

Happy Canada Day ya hosers!

Still such an amazing feat for the time. And I am still bent that I didn't get to do the Doors Open tour behind the scenes. No matter, happy birthday to the building that made Toronto's skyline! urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/06...

That 20-25% drop in prices since the peak in earl 2022 has helped. Problem is, everything else is way more expensive. And incomes, as usual, are not keeping up. financialpost.com/news/condo-a...

The giraffe is dead. Long live the giraffe. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

Tannery Lofts, an authentic 1905 hard loft conversion, transformed into boutique residences. The loft has 12' timber ceilings with original wood slat detailing, exposed brick walls, and dramatic warehouse-style windows that flood the space with natural light. www.jeffreyteam.com/homes-for-sa...

Now that has some style. So much better than so many similar infills, someone actually made this one unique. I think I showed this house a couple years ago, but they've renovated inside. Designed by someone famous, who they don't mention and the name escapes me... www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

That building is cool. Stand near the bottom of it, it is larger and more impressive in person than you think it is. I love daring new condos like this. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

Good. Summer is for people, not for cars. Every initiative like this makes the city that little bit nicer (and more livable) than it was before. nowtoronto.com/news/toronto...

HOLY FUCKING FINALLY! It was simply NOT physically possible to build them. I appreciate the ambition, but to claim they could do, then double down repeatedly that it would happen... Might be one of the first true things they ever said, admitting it wouldn't happen. torontolife.com/real-estate/...

And someone with more money than sense is likely going to buy it, hire some trendy designer, and turn it into a greige nightmare full of blonde wood and brass handles. Sigh... www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

Good. We need more mid-density projects. Whether they are normal towns or stacked towns (i.e. low-rise condos), these sorts of projects bridge the gap between freehold detached homes and condo towers. www.connectcre.ca/stories/mint...

I saw that unit back when it was listed before the current owner bought it. It is pretty cool... skinny, but unique and has a lot of vintage loft character. torontosun.com/life/homes/a...

Iconic Merchandise Loft, offering almost 1100sf with soaring 12-ft ceiling, polished concrete floor & industrial-chic character. Rich in history & character, the building offers a vibrant, welcoming community & resort-style amenities. Comes with EV parking space. www.jeffreyteam.com/homes-for-sa...

So if municipalities have so much money in the bank, why are property taxes always going up? Why isn't infrastructure in perfect repair? And why have DCs gone up so much? Hmph. storeys.com/toronto-deve...

100% bait and switch. If it is half the price of market value, then they are underpricing it and hoping for a bidding war. Unfortunately, that still happens. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

I have far more to say about greening the building code than I have space for here. From lower utility bills to climate resiliency, there are SO many good reasons for green houses and green condos. renx.ca/the-economic...
