Buying a house in Toronto

By Mark Savel · Updated October 2026

Older houses are a big part of Toronto’s character, and they come with questions a listing won’t answer. These are the ones we work through with every house buyer.

Get a home inspection

Wiring, plumbing, the roof and the foundation matter more than finishes. An inspection before your offer is firm, or before the offer date when you’re competing, protects you from costly surprises.

Basements, water and drainage

Ask about past water in the basement, the age of the sewer line and whether there’s a backwater valve. Many Toronto homes have had these upgraded; some haven’t.

The lot and what you can add

Lot size, a laneway or a deep garden can open the door to an addition, a garden suite or a laneway suite. Zoning and permits decide what’s possible, so we check before you buy.

Heritage and trees

Some streets are in heritage districts, and the City protects many mature trees. Both can shape what you can change, so they’re worth knowing about early.

Detached, semi or townhouse

Detached homes give you the most freedom, semis share a wall and often cost less on the same street, and freehold townhouses offer a house with less upkeep. The right choice depends on space, budget and how much work you want to take on.

More advice for buyers

Houses in Toronto, questions answered

What is the median house price in Toronto?

How long do houses take to sell in Toronto?

Houses that sold in Toronto in September 2026 were on the market for about 27 days.

Is Toronto a buyer's or seller's market for houses?

It is a balanced market right now. Sales and new listings are roughly in step, so neither side has a clear edge. Over the last three months, there were about 41 sales for every 100 new listings.

What’s the difference between a detached and a semi-detached house?

A detached house stands on its own lot. A semi-detached house shares one wall with its neighbour, which usually means a narrower lot and a lower price than a similar detached home on the same street.

Should I get a home inspection in a competitive market?

Yes. If you can’t make your offer conditional, book an inspection before the offer date. It’s a small cost compared with fixing a hidden problem.

Can I add a laneway or garden suite?

Many Toronto lots can, under City rules that allow laneway and garden suites. Lot size, access and servicing decide what fits, so we check before you buy.

What is a heritage district?

An area the City has designated to protect its character. Changes to the outside of a house can need approval, and some districts have more rules than others.

What land transfer tax will I pay on a Toronto house?

Toronto buyers pay both the Ontario and the Toronto land transfer tax, and first-time buyers may qualify for rebates. Our closing cost calculator estimates both for you.
