Here’s what kind of home $1 million can get you around Toronto

All we hear about these days are how expensive the local housing market is. In Toronto, the median price of a single-family detached home at the start of this year was $1,823,900, according to Royal Lepage. Realistically though, that’s already over budget for the vast majority of us. If you’re ready to get into the market and have $1 million to fork over, here are some Toronto homes you can buy.
