Wife and I just got back from a Toronto trip, and she commented on the way home how you don’t see any single detached neighborhoods/suburbs, just townhouses and apartment complexes. That got me thinking, is this how most of Ontario is? ---

for the new builds yes. if you came up the QEW you probably wont see any townhomes under $500k USD for builder grade between Peace bridge and the Burlington Skyway. Once you get into the GTA it’s $750k USD and up for a new townhome. Detached singles in the GTA would start at $900k USD and up. You couldnt get a decent builder lot in a residential neighbourhood in Hamilton for under $400k USD and that would be in a poop area. The ones i see in better areas are $600k USD and up for just a lot that you could build a detached home on. Interest rates brought us back maybe 10% - 20%… maybe more on the high end. sales volumes are down 40-50% year over year but since the supply is so low the prices are not cratering. Interest rates went up so fast it’s hard to say if they’ve had enough time to ‘play-through’ ---

They purposely inverted so many of the COVID/vax graphs that they read as declines/favorability but the numbers were actually opposite. ---
