The Real Reason GTA Housing Is Unaffordable (It’s Not Demand)
Why is GTA housing so unaffordable right now? In this episode of The Angry Realtor Show, we break down the real reason home prices in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area keep climbing, and it is not simply buyer demand. From development charges and HST on new homes to land restrictions and approval delays, we unpack how housing policy, infrastructure costs, and government fees are built directly into the price buyers pay. If you are wondering why new construction homes feel out of reach, this is the conversation most people are not having.We look at how development charges in cities like Toronto, Oakville, Burlington, and across the GTA have surged over the past two decades, and how those costs get passed on to buyers through higher home prices and larger mortgages. We also discuss the Greenbelt debate, housing supply constraints, and how limited approvals impact affordability across Ontario. Whether you are a first time home buyer, investor, or homeowner trying to understand the Canadian housing crisis, this episode connects the dots so you can see what is really driving today’s market.🚚 Moving to Oakville or Burlington?
