Housing in the Toronto area has been even more insane than usual the last few months. Houses an hour away from downtown that were selling for ~850k in November 2021 were selling for $1.05M in January and February.

I live two hours from Toronto and a house in a bad area of town that I personally know was a crackhouse 2 years ago, sold for slightly under half a million and is getting gutted and renovated into a duplex.

Last time I was in the house, crackheads were shitting in buckets. Literally.

And there isn’t a lot of good jobs here!

All of Southern Ontario really; prices in Midland, Owen Sound, etc. etc. are all much higher.
