With slower sales and softer prices in our market, it makes sense\u2014especially for those who want to keep their lower mortgage rates and sidestep extra costs like land transfer taxes and agent fees. Renovation inquiries are up 10% this year, but it\u2019s important to remember that project costs have also risen\u2014some by $15K\u2013$25K, and basement remodels can now reach $70K.<\/p>\n<p>For families who love their neighbourhood but need more space or a new layout, renovating can be the right move\u2014but it\u2019s not without challenges. Material price swings, skilled labour shortages, surprises in older homes, and permit delays can all add time and stress. I always recommend a realistic budget, a 10\u201320% contingency, and working with trusted professionals. As someone who specializes in comparative market analysis, I know how these decisions fit into the bigger picture of your investment. Whether you\u2019re renovating or selling, understanding your options is key to making the best choice for your family and future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many Toronto homeowners weigh their next move, I\u2019m seeing a clear trend: more are choosing to renovate rather than sell.
