toronto detached houses for sale

Toronto is consistently rated among the top cities in the world in which to live. We couldn't agree more. Toronto is our home and it's a wonderful city in which to work, live and play.

With over 2.81 million residents (6.4 million in the Greater Toronto Area as of 2016), Toronto has the highest population of any Canadian city. It’s known for it's dyamic, commercial centre, headquarters to the Toronto Stock Exchange and Canada's major banks, it's vibrant arts and entertainment scenes, including the world-renowned Toronto International Film Festival, it's media hubs, home to Canada’s major broadcasting networks and media outlets, and, proudly, Toronto is known for it's cultural diversity.

Toronto is the economic hub of the province of Ontario, thus many Ontarians are employed here. Many people who work downtown choose to live in the city centre within a short commute. Others opt for the suburbs in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to find a more affordable home and get a bigger property, with more land, for their budget.

There's something for everyone in this city.

Toronto homes for sale are among the most desired in Ontario, not only for their location but also for their style. Toronto architecture is often thought of as a tale of two cities–the stunning, historic brick homes, largely built from the late 1800s to around 1910 (including Victorian and Edwardian styles) and the contemporary condos, townhomes and soft lofts that have sprung up by the thousands over the last decade. There is, however, a ton of variety in between. One of the often-overlooked but smart-buy property categories that Toronto offers are the post-war bungalows dotted in older, family-friendly neighbourhoods, just a short commute to downtown; they're great starter homes or tear-down projects for investors.

There's no denying, though, that Toronto is best-known in current times for its booming condo industry. During the peak of construction in the early 2000s, we had the highest number of condos under construction of any city in the world. Toronto condos offer much-needed, affordable property options for young urbanites and downsizers alike. There's plenty of demand for high-end, luxury condos, also, with luxury sales staying strong even through market moderation.

We're not just a sea of tall towers, however. Hard loft enthusiasts will salivate over Toronto's stock of character-filled conversions that rival any New York loft and our freehold properties come in a wide variety of styles and price-points. We're particularly fond of Toronto's stock of early 20th century historic homes in neighbourhoods such as Riverdale, the Annex and Palmerston, many of which have beautifully-restored façades and fully-renovated interiors that suit modern-day lifestyles.
