With a population of approximately 415,000 and a real estate market shaped by intense demand from Toronto commuters seeking affordable ownership, rapid new construction in the north end, and a rental market tightening as the city absorbs population growth from the GTHA, the legal dimensions of buying, selling, and investing in property here deserve careful attention.
