Dear <<First Name>>,
While we love Toronto and the GTA, sky-high prices have left many looking outside of the centre of the universe to find a new home. Thankfully, there’s more affordability in the province’s real estate market than Toronto-area prices show.
If purchasing a shed near Trinity Bellwoods for $1.8 million doesn’t appeal to you, trust that first: you’re not alone, and second: you have options. While the city’s rental marketis making a case for tenants, average home prices are expected to continue to rise; for many homebuyers, lands beyond the GTA beckon.
