While large developments still drive most new construction, it\u2019s the quieter, incremental changes\u2014like adding homes on existing lots\u2014that are steadily expanding our housing options. With recent zoning updates allowing more flexibility, we\u2019re seeing a shift: new builds are becoming denser, and ground-oriented homes are a smaller piece of the puzzle. It\u2019s a trend that matters, especially for those seeking that elusive \u201cmissing middle\u201d housing. Of course, the pace of change still hinges on fees, approval timelines, building rules, and, as always, financing. As someone who\u2019s worked on both the construction and policy sides, I see small-scale infill as an important tool for both buyers and sellers navigating today\u2019s tight market. The long-term impact will come down to whether these projects stay financially viable\u2014but for now, it\u2019s encouraging to see more options emerging for our community.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, I\u2019ve been closely watching how small-scale infill is shaping housing in West Toronto and similar established neighbourhoods.
