These ‘underrated’ Toronto neighbourhoods have cheaper-than-average homes

When it comes to real estate, who doesn’t want a good bang for their buck? According to a new report by Strata.ca, there are a few Toronto neighbourhoods with cheaper-than-average homes.

The real estate website says that the current average house price in the city of Toronto is just over $1.5 million, and $742,300 for condos.
