How do laneway and garden suites affect property value?
These additions typically provide strong returns: an immediate property value increase of roughly 80–90% of construction cost, rental income potential of $2,500–$3,500 per month for premium units, and increased buyer appeal — properties with suites often sell 20–25% faster. In neighbourhoods like Forest Hill and Rosedale, high-quality suites that match the main residence deliver the highest returns.

Is it better to build an addition or move to a larger home?
For homeowners in Toronto's established neighbourhoods, adding on is often the more strategic choice. You avoid land transfer taxes and real estate commissions while building equity in a location you already love. An addition lets you create a space tailored exactly to your family's needs without the stress of a move. On average, you can expect an immediate return of 70–85% of your investment in increased property value.
