This week, David heads to Toronto’s West End to explore one of the busiest pockets of the 2026 market: The Junction. This thriving neighbourhood continues to attract buyers looking for walkability, character homes, and strong long-term value.

From renovation opportunities to fully updated family homes, David breaks down five listings across different price points and street types, explaining how location, traffic exposure, school districts, and layout decisions impact real value beyond the asking price.

This week’s picks:

• 02:40 — 54 Maher Ave: A Victorian-style three-bedroom home with parking and a basement unit offering strong location fundamentals and renovation upside, ideal for buyers willing to trade cosmetic updates for long-term Junction value
• 06:00 — 640 Runnymede Rd: A fully renovated three-bedroom detached on a busy street near Dundas, presenting a rare opportunity to buy a turnkey Junction home at a discount due to traffic exposure
• 09:53 — 301 Evelyn Ave: A beautifully finished semi-detached on a quiet residential street featuring excellent curb appeal, a functional open layout, finished basement, and garage parking
• 15:09 — 162 Medland St: A large, 1908 Edwardian detached with five bedrooms and classic character details in a prime Junction pocket, offering exceptional space and location
• 19:10 — 224 Gilmour Ave: A stylish three-storey corner detached with exposed brick, private driveway, and garage parking, combining architectural charm with modern family living
