Everyone says Toronto is unaffordable. But compared to what? 🤔
UBS looked at how many years a skilled service worker needs to work to buy a 650 sq ft condo near the city centre, across 23 major cities around the world. Where do you think Toronto landed? Drop your guess below 👇
Here’s the full list. 📊
Hong Kong sits at about 15 years. London, Paris and Tokyo are all over 11. New York is around 7. Vancouver is about 5.5.
And Toronto? Roughly 4.7 years. Dead last, which in this case is exactly where you want to be.

Thinking about buying downtown? DM me “DOWNTOWN” and let’s figure it out together. 📩
