What this means for your mortgage
Central is where the $1.5 million cap bites hardest: detached houses in these districts typically trade well above it, so 20% down is the floor, insurance is unavailable, and fewer lenders will look at the file. On the condo side the recurring problem is pre-construction closings — a lender lends against the lesser of price and appraised value, and where a 2021 or 2022 purchase appraises below its contract price today, the shortfall has to be covered in cash. If you have a closing coming, get it looked at months ahead, not weeks.

How does Toronto Central compare with the wider GTA?+
This page covers Toronto Central on its own, as TRREB reports it. The region-wide figures are on the main housing market page, and the two often move differently — the GTA average blends downtown condos with Halton and Durham freeholds, so a single municipality is usually the more useful number when you are buying in one.
How current are these numbers?+
