Toronto has held onto its position as the 20th-ranked city worldwide in a recent 2026 index, standing out among 1,000 global cities—no small feat given what’s happening in urban markets. Our city’s strong economic foundation and deep pool of talent continue to support steady demand. Yet, as many of you have experienced firsthand, housing affordability remains a significant concern. The same index points out that Toronto’s Quality of Life score took a hit due to housing costs, despite our impressive performance in broader economic areas. According to a 2026 housing study, Toronto’s median multiple is close to 7.5, placing us among the least affordable major markets surveyed. In fact, the experts behind these rankings note that Toronto residents are spending a larger portion of their income on housing than almost anywhere else in the world. The ongoing shortage of new homes—especially with housing starts expected to slow further through 2026—continues to drive this gap in affordability. Having both lived and worked in West Toronto for years, I see these challenges from both a personal and professional perspective. My background in construction and negotiation gives me a unique lens when navigating these complex market realities with my clients. My goal is always to provide clarity and support, so you can make informed decisions about your next move in our ever-evolving city.
