Toronto real estate has a bit of a paradox right now. Prices are down, affordability has improved, and yet it still doesn’t necessarily feel affordable. There’s a bigger story behind the numbers — and it raises an interesting question about where Toronto goes from here.

It’s finally starting to look like a house. The walls are going up on my Toronto laneway project, and after all the planning, digging and concrete, things are getting very real.

My backyard is officially unrecognizable. What was once a quiet outdoor space is now a full construction zone as the next stage of my Toronto laneway house project gets underway.

Toronto buyers are stuck between two instincts: “Maybe prices will drop more…” and “What if I miss the opportunity?” The truth is, markets rarely come with a flashing green light.
