Toronto, Vancouver housing still hugely desirable despite recent challenges
Toronto and Vancouver continue to attract attention on the global stage, coming in at 20th and 24th for desirability—largely thanks to their robust economies. Yet, as someone working closely with Toronto buyers and sellers every day, I see firsthand how high housing costs are impacting quality of life scores in both cities. To truly address affordability, Canada would need to build between 430,000 and 480,000 homes each year—a goal we haven’t reached yet. Navigating this landscape, my focus remains on helping clients understand their options, whether it’s a condo downtown or a family home in the suburbs, and providing property evaluations tailored to today’s dynamic market.
