• Toronto Starts Fall Short of Target

    Toronto housing starts ↓10% yearly versus the previous year, a clear sign construction activity moderated in the city's larger urban market during current tracking.
    Toronto was tracking 37 building permits tied to 6.6K condominium apartment units where construction had not yet begun in the current pipeline.
    The agency said some pending projects could still move forward, because related pre-sales likely happened much earlier than the current reduction in sales activity.
    Housing-start data can lag current conditions, because large Toronto projects move through planning and pre-sale phases, permit issuance, then actual construction before starts appear.
    That means Toronto's current starts may understate real-time activity, and some permitted condo units could still break ground as the pending pipeline advances.

  • Ontario HST Rebates Boost New Home Sales

    Industry advocates argued Ontario's temporary HST relief showed tax reductions can support affordability, sales activity, and confidence, and said permanent relief would better spur construction.
    Builders were described as navigating higher material and labour costs, slow approvals, restrictive rules, and uncertainty, with taxes, fees, and levies a major burden.
    The temporary program also faced rollout delays, as builders, developers, and buyers waited for rules and applications, limiting effectiveness while housing activity remained stalled.
    Highrise condo projects were portrayed as especially vulnerable, because long development and construction timelines made short-term tax policy less effective for moving projects ahead.
    The proposed long-term path for Ontario was permanent HST relief, ideally removing the tax on new homes, to help pursue 1.5M homes by 2031.

    Torontonians Favor Affordable Property Tax Measures, Poll Finds

    A majority of Torontonians prefer property tax increases below inflation or no increase, with 54% favoring this despite potential service impacts.

  • Deer Park home styles

    Deer Park home styles

    Buyers are often drawn to Deer Park’s interior streets for their larger detached and semi-detached homes, established family setting, and central Toronto location. The neighbourhood offers convenient access to St. Clair Station, Summerhill Station, David A. Balfour Park, the Beltline Trail, and Deer Park Public School.

    When comparing value, property type matters. Detached and semi-detached homes on the interior streets represent a different market from the condominium, co-op, and rental stock concentrated around Yonge–St. Clair. Comparing similar homes by style, lot, condition, location, and recent sales can provide a more meaningful picture of market value.

    Buyers should also complete property-specific due diligence, particularly near the Vale of Avoca or Yellow Creek. Depending on the location, investigate ravine setbacks, erosion risks, flooding considerations, and whether TRCA floodplain requirements may apply.

    Working in Deer Park each week, I help buyers connect the neighbourhood’s lifestyle advantages with the practical details that can affect a purchase. If you are considering a home here, a focused review of the street, property type, and surrounding conditions is an important next step.
