Everything happening in Toronto real estate this week
Dear reader, In an exploding city like Toronto, real estate is as much about location as it is about being resourceful. Things are looking up for both owners and renters: inflation has cooled, rents are down across the board and there’s plenty of housing stock waiting to get in the game. But, until the Bank of Canada restores interest rates to pre-pandemic levels and builders get back to building, Torontonians are forced to think beyond traditional glass boxes and quaint lots. And that’s a good thing. This past year, our readers consumed a buffet of success stories speaking to that new reality: an east-end family who built a shimmering cantilevered wonder in their backyard, retirees who traded urban living for cruising the ocean, one couple’s journey from Toronto to Grey County and back, and more. Below, our most-read real estate stories of 2024. Also in today’s newsletter: $6.9 million to live in the Vaughan home of an award-winning architect. Plus, a Campbellville country house with a grandfather clock and a hot tub. For all of our real estate coverage and more, visit torontolife.com or subscribe to our print edition. |

| What architect’s hideaway off Major Mac would be complete without a glass floors, an ecclesiastical kitchen, brushed gold hardware, a pop art mural, two driveways, so much leather and an outdoor pizza oven? |

| Here’s a three-bedroom, three-bathroom standout in Campbellville. At 3,100 square feet, the renovated home comes with a coach house, an original door that opens only by skeleton key and an outdoor fireplace. Take the tour. |
