When it’s time to sell, one of the most powerful ways to boost your home’s value is by preparing it to shine. Buyers don’t just see walls and floors — they feel how a home presents itself. A few thoughtful updates, the right staging, and a touch of polish can transform your property from lived-in to irresistible.

Moving into a new home is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming, especially on that very first day. Unpacking boxes, figuring out where everything goes, and adjusting to a new space can be both thrilling and exhausting.

Selling a long-time home can feel overwhelming, especially when it’s filled with memories, routines, and personal history. Right-sizing doesn’t have to be stressful — with thoughtful planning, small steps, and practical support, it can be a smooth and empowering transition.

Once upon a time, the dream home was right in the city — steps from coffee shops, offices, and nightlife. But today, more buyers are rewriting that dream. They’re choosing space over skyscrapers, peace over pace, and balance over bustle. Welcome to the peri-urban revolution — a quiet but powerful movement reshaping where and how people want to live.

Home sales in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) were down year-overyear in October, while new listings were up. Market conditions continued to favour homebuyers, as average selling prices were negotiated down alongside lower mortgage rates. “Buyers who are confident in their employment situation and ability to make their mortgage payments over the long term are benefitting from affordable housing market conditions relative to the past few years. However, many intending homebuyers remain on the sidelines due to uncertainty about their economic future,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule.

If you’re considering relocating from a rental unit or traditional house, you’ll want to get a sense of what condo living is like. Here are some of the pros and cons of living in a condo unit.

Once upon a time, garages were the forgotten corners of a home—utilitarian spaces where cars slept, boxes piled up, and sports gear gathered dust. Today, that narrative is changing. The modern garage is experiencing a renaissance, transforming from a mere storage area into a showcase of design, technology, and lifestyle.

Choosing the right neighbourhood is just as important as finding the perfect home. After all, the area you live in can significantly impact your lifestyle, daily routines, and overall happiness. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to relocate, here are the top 10 factors to consider.

In luxury real estate, one space consistently captures hearts—and offers the highest return on investment: the kitchen. Gone are the days when kitchens were tucked away and purely functional. Today, they are a showpiece of design, an entertainer’s stage, and a family gathering hub—all rolled into one

Fashion Week month is here and Mandi Keighran finds the spirit of Paris, Milan, London and New York is expressed not only on the runway, but in their most stylish luxury homes. Twice a year, the fashion industry elite pack their bags and embark on a four-city tour of runway shows across the globe. From New York to London, Milan to Paris, the “Big Four” fashion weeks set the agenda for the season ahead.

Forget the outdated image of a cramped in-law suite or basement apartment. Today’s multigenerational homes are elegant, expansive, and designed to meet the needs of three—or even four—generations under one roof. It’s not just a trend—it’s a full-blown shift in how families are redefining home.

In the hierarchy of luxury, finishes can be upgraded and layouts reimagined—but one thing remains priceless: the view. Whether it’s skyline silhouettes, water stretching to the horizon, or treetops glowing at sunset, the right sightline can elevate a home from simply desirable to truly unforgettable.

For years, luxury real estate was synonymous with size: multi-level estates, sprawling square footage, and multiple living zones were the gold standard. But a quiet shift is underway—one that prioritizes how a space lives over how large it is.

As city living continues to evolve, so do the expectations of high-end buyers. In Toronto's luxury market, where skyline views and prime locations were once enough, a new must-have feature is redefining desirability: private outdoor space. From rooftop terraces to secluded courtyards and covered loggias, the ability to step outside—and stay outside—has become a symbol of modern luxury.

What began as a temporary shift has become a permanent evolution. Today, the luxury buyer isn’t just looking for a home—they're looking for a headquarters. As hybrid work becomes the norm and entrepreneurship accelerates, high-end properties are reimagining what a work-from-home setup can truly be.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, August 6, 2025 – The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) experienced the best home sales result for the month of July since 2021. Sales were also up relative to listings, suggesting a modest tightening in the market compared to last year. “Improved affordability, brought about by lower home prices and borrowing costs, is starting to translate into increased home sales. More relief is required, particularly where borrowing costs are concerned, but it’s clear that a growing number of households are finding affordable options for homeownership,” said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Elechia Barry-Sproule.

Luxury real estate has always been about beautiful finishes, generous square footage, and sought-after locations. But today, something deeper is driving the market: wellness. Homebuyers in Toronto and beyond are no longer just shopping for marble countertops and smart appliances—they’re seeking homes that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

For years, sleek new builds have dominated Toronto’s luxury market—glass boxes with clean lines, minimalist kitchens, and the latest smart home tech. But lately, a quiet shift is happening. More and more high-end buyers are turning their attention back to older homes—ones with history, soul, and craftsmanship you can’t replicate overnight.

The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) housing market experienced an improvement in affordability in June 2025 relative to the same period a year earlier. With sales down and listings up, homebuyers took advantage of increased inventory and negotiating power.

“Looking at the GTA as a whole, homebuyers have certainly benefited from greater choice and improved affordability this year. However, each neighbourhood and market segment have their own nuances. Buyers considering a home purchase should connect with a REALTOR® who is knowledgeable about their preferred area and property type. In today’s market, working with a REALTOR® who brings expertise, the right tools, and a strong network is essential,” said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board President Elechia Barry-Sproule.
