Purchase a Town in Conneticut for Less than a House in Toronto
As of April 2014, the average price for a detached house in Toronto, according to the Globe & Mail is a staggering $965,760 – quite the price tag, especially when you’re hard pressed to find a nice backyard in newer developments (instead, you now share a local park with your neighbours these days.)
