Can You Still Buy A House For Under $200k In Ontario
The idea of buying a house in Toronto for less than $200,000 seems the stuff of pure fantasy as strong demand continues to keep prices high.
Lack of affordable housing is not unique to the city Canadas average national home price is $865,100, nearly 30% higher than in early 2020 and almost twice the US median.
In a new study, Point2Homes analyzed where Canadians can find affordable housing. The site used $200,000, about a quarter of the national average price, as a budget benchmark.
In Ontario, the chances of finding an affordable home in a major city are nearly non-existent. Point2Homes found that there were no homes for sale under $200,000 in Toronto, Mississauga, or Brampton.
In fact, there were 29 cities across the province that had zero affordable homes for sale, including Richmond Hill, Markham, and Caledon.
In Waterloo, 0.32% of the homes for sale were priced under $200,000. In Hamilton, affordable options made up 0.24% of listings. In Ottawa, they accounted for just 0.14%.
Of Canadas 50 biggest citiesthe majority of which are in OntarioKawartha Lakes had the largest share of listings under $200,000, at 4.80%. It was also the only large city where more than 1% of homes for sale were listed under the benchmark price, Point2Homes said.
Only about 10% of all homes for sale in Canada are less than $200,000and very few of them are in major cities, where median home prices are exploding, the site said.

Highly Likely To Recommend
Bought a Single Family home with Mya Honeywell in 2021 in Saint Paul, MN.
“I cannot say enough great things about Mya and Megan at The Hive! The prospect of buying a long-term house during a pandemic while inventory was incredibly low was daunting, but Mya and Megan made it fun and exciting! One of the main reasons we chose The Hive to help us find our home, is their passion for their community and commitment to giving back. Mya and Megan truly care so much about their community, it is evident through their everyday actions. Mya and Megan are very responsive, positive, honest, and fun! They always went out of the way to make the process as easy as possible. I highly recommend The Hive as the best realtor group in town!” -Keren W.

The Innovators: Hexagonal Homes Could Give First
A three-unit Hivehaus, on sale for £55,000 with options to extend the honeycomb design, offers an alternative way on to the property ladder
Ancient Greeks originally theorised that the elegant shape of honeycomb, with its interlocking hexagons, was an example of natures efficiency. In the back garden of his home outside Wigan, Barry Jackson has taken similar inspiration to create an alternative form of housing.
The 52-year-old builder had been considering how to create a man cave on his property for his drum kit and photography equipment, when he thought of constructing a series of six-sided rooms which could be built and attached together in a honeycomb design.
The result, some three years later, is the Hivehaus, hexagonal rooms each of 100 square feet attached together to form a personalised building. It can be erected in four to five days by three builders, has no foundations, and can be used as a study, garden room, gym and possibly even transportable housing.
Describing the design as anti-builder and anti-architect, Jackson said the identical structures use standard off-the-shelf materials. A three-unit Hivehaus costs about £55,000, offering an alternative way to get people on to the property ladder.
A lot of young people wont ever have that chance that I had. They are still living with their parents in their 30s. It delays having families because people dont feel that they belong anywhere, because they are stuck in some rental trap.
