Small-Scale Infill Is (Finally) Showing Up In Toronto’s Housing Data

We're finally seeing small-scale infill—like accessory dwelling units and multiplexes—make a real impact in Toronto’s housing data. These types of projects now account for about 10% of housing starts across Canada, a notable shift driven by zoning reforms and a drop in new single-detached homes. As someone who’s been guiding clients through Toronto’s ever-changing real estate landscape since 1987, I find this trend especially promising for those looking to maximize value and flexibility. Navigating these new opportunities not only opens doors for more affordable options but can also help you save money and build long-term wealth. It’s all about finding smarter ways to make Toronto work for you.
