To say that 2020 has been a wild ride is an understatement. With a new normal set in place and companies relying more and more on remote work, a question stands: “Do I even need to live in the city?” As much as we love living in Toronto, the prices are high and the homes can be small. Even according to a recent Nanos Research study for the Ontario Real Estate Association, 60% of buyers in a post-pandemic world are looking to buy outside of the city. So, we’ve done our due diligence and partnered with Purplebricks to show you what you could get across Southern Ontario for $700K or less.
First off, we want to tell you about Purplebricks.
