This is what a $2.5 million house looks like in Toronto vs other cities

Real estate in Toronto is still laser-focused on the rising prices of condos, but the cost of detached homes is actually going down. Those trying to decide between investing in either a condo or a house might actually fare better with the latter right now, though with a starting price point of $2.5 million, both options are pretty feasible. 

Here's what a $2.5 million house looks like in Toronto versus other cities.

Toronto - $2,500,000 CAD

This two-storey four-bedroom house is one of the newer-looking homes in the Princess-Rosethorn area. With a balcony in the master bedroom, you might be able to peer west toward series of parks running along Mimico Creek nearby.

It doesn't look like much, but considering this property was built in 1975, that's no surprise. This three-bedroom is however, located in Arbutus Ridge, one of Vancouver's most affluent neighbourhoods on the West Side, in walking distance to the Arbutus Village Park Trail.
