Yea that listing is for detached homes only and working in Aurora I can tell you the "average" house size here is like 3k sq. ft. easy. Almost all new developments that are selling are well north of 3k sq. ft. and they were recently released so that probably explains why they had such a huge jump.

3k sqft is insane. This house is too big for us now, I can't imagine anything bigger.

I dunno, but that's one reason why we're going to custom build eventually. Get exactly what we need, make use of the space and not have a giant house that's a bastard to keep clean/tidy.

Johnny Depp defines CSI members.
http://www.businessinsider.com/how-johnny-depp-spends-his-money-2017-2
/problem?
Johnny Depp's former business managers have alleged that the actor is living an extravagant $2 million (£1.5 million) a month lifestyle, complete with 14 houses, 70 guitars, and an enormous appetite for wine.
It comes after Depp launched a $25 million lawsuit last month against his business managers, The Mandel Company (TMG), claiming "gross mismanagement" of his affairs.
He said the company failed to properly pay his taxes on his behalf, made unauthorised loans, and overpaid for "security and other services," costing him "tens of millions of dollars" and leading to financial trouble, of which he claims to have only become aware of in March of last year.
The cross-complaint, filed this week, stated that TMG "did everything within its power over the last 17 years to protect Depp from himself and to keep Depp financially solvent" but that TMG "did not have the power or ability to control Depp’s spending or his numerous other vices, or to force Depp to make wiser financial decisions."
The lawsuit lifts the lid, in extraordinary detail, on Depp's alleged "extravagant and extreme" $2 million a month spending habit. We took a look through to discover how the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star splurges his earnings. All of our figures are quoted in the TMG lawsuit, which is available in full here.
According to TMG, Depp has spent $75 million to 'acquire, improve, and furnish 14 residences' around the world.

This includes a 45-acre chateau in the south of France, valued at $13.5 million, a chain of islands in the Bahamas, a number of houses in Hollywood and penthouse lofts in downtown Los Angeles. He also has a horse farm in Kentucky. Each house has a full set of staff.
He has also spent 'millions' on 45 luxury cars.
Wish I could say this was my ride. #1959corvette
A 1959 Corvette is just one of his many motors.
He spent $18 million on a 150-foot luxury yacht.
JK Rowling reportedly bought the yacht off him in 2016.
He refuses to fly in anything but a private plane, according to TMG, selecting a Gulfstream GV, costing him $200,000 a month.
Depp owns over 70 collectable guitars. He spends $30,000 a month alone on wine 'flown in from all over the world for personal consumption.'He also has 'many pieces of expensive world class jewellery,' which he's often seen wearing.
According to TMG, the actor has spent 'many millions on rare and expensive Hollywood collectables' from the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando. He has so many items that he needs 12 storage facilities to house them.
This Marilyn Monroe dress, which went on sale at Christie's in 1999, is an example of the kind of memorabilia Depp might own.
He spent 'millions' to acquire and maintain an expensive art collection, made up of over 200 collectable pieces from famous artists like Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Basquiat's "Self-Portrait" is just one of the pieces he has owned. It was put up for auction at Christie's in 2016 with a realised price of over £3.5 million (over $4.7 million).
He has 40 full-time employees around the world, costing him $300,00 a month, including personal security for him and his family every hour of every day.
Over the years he has also spent $10 million to support his 'friends, family, and certain employees,' according to TMG.
This includes living expenses for his sisters and late mother. He bought his mother a multi-million dollar home in Hollywood, as well as a $35,000 a month residence for her when she was ill.
Depp also funded a start-up music label run by a childhood friend. It cost him over $4 million with no revenue before he ultimately cut funding.
Perhaps his most peculiar expense is the $3 million he spent to fulfil friend Hunter S. Thompson’s dream of having his ashes "blast from a specially-made cannon" over Aspen, Colarado following his death in 2005.

And, if that's not enough, he allegedly has $55,000 still owing on a Visa card.

Our parents bought what they could afford and made it work. I think we all could take a few lessons from that generation. Agreed to a certain degree. Back in my parents' days (say 1990s), a two garages detached house can be bought for $200,000 and the average income was probably in the $30,000-35,000 a year? So that said house was 6 times the salary. In 2017, a two garage detached house is around $1 million, and let's say the average income is $100,000 (don't think it's that high). It is still 10 times the salary. So the buying power is significantly lower and there were probably very little bidding war back in the 90s.
Pretty close on the figures.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-esta...rticle27126408/
If houses in Toronto were affordable for middle-class families, they’d cost an average $228,657.
The late 1990s were the last time prices were that low in the city. The actual average in September was $627,395, which is a gross undersell because it includes homes in the suburbs around the city. In Toronto proper – the 416 area code, in other words – the average cost of a detached house was around $1-million.
With an average price of $627,395 in the Greater Toronto Area, a household would need income of at least $209,000 or so to be in sync with the guideline of having a price-to-income ratio around three. A recent estimate shows us that the median household income in the city is $76,219.

I wouldn't rely on those stats all that much.
We know that the average household income of 76k is a very skewed/biased number. The city has grown significantly, we have a ton of immigrants, many not working, many working minimum wage jobs, many not declaring income from cash businesses, etc. The household income of representing the same people that were surveyed in 1990's is very different from this catch all statistic.
But on that topic, how many of you here have close family and/or friends that pull in 76k combined? You can probably count them on one hand.

If there is one thing I've learned from this thread if you want troll the fuck out of Jeff start "suggesting" houses he should look at as if he doesn't know what he wants and/or he doesn't go to enough open houses as is
Anyone have additional recommendations for Jeff?

Our friends used to live at salem and 401 in ajax. had a 2000 sqft semi. Both worked downtown, so GO and TTC was 1000$ per month for both of them. They said fuck it, and moved to Coxwell and Danforth area. I think bought their house for 849,000.
Its not bad at all. Just gotta take it on the chin.
