Our city\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2014especially with housing starts expected to slow further through 2026\u2014continues 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.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto has held onto its position as the 20th-ranked city worldwide in a recent 2026 index, standing out among 1,000 global cities\u2014no small feat given what\u2019s happening in urban markets.
