Real Estate Market Overview
Toronto’s housing prices are on the high side, with average costs ranging from $550,000 to $850,000.
The city’s western and central sections have many high-rise residential buildings, as well as more expensive single-family homes (detached and row houses).
Commercial spaces tend to be retail-based, and there are some vacant lots.
A mix of single-family homes, high-rise and low-rise multi-family units, and row houses are offered in the southern section, as are office and retail spaces.
