Why Toronto Needs More Modern Homes

According to the Toronto Housing Market Analysis report by the Canadian Urban Institute, people currently renting a home in the city will have to wait between 10 and 27 years to save enough money to pay the 10 percent down payment on an average house.

Here, average refers to the median-price homes that were mostly built before 1980, including many which were constructed during the postwar boom of the 60s and 70s. The population of Toronto is expected to grow over 3 million people by 2031. By this time, most of the people who would have enough to buy a home or make a down payment for it will comprise of Millennial’s.

Building Homes with the Millennials in Mind

It’s no secret that majority of the millennials, in Canada and other parts of the world, prefer modern and chic housing over ‘old-looking’ homes that were built before 1980. Unfortunately for the millennials, if things stay as they are today in the next ten years, they will have to be contend with the antique homesthat can be seen virtually everywhere in Toronto at the present time.

To ensure the survival and growth of the housing market in Canada, it is imperative that construction companies in the country build more modern homes in Canada’s financial hub and biggest city; this is needed to attract the thousands of millennial home-buyers who will be ready to buy a home in Toronto in the next five to ten years.
