With open houses still temporarily prohibited in Ontario in an effort to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, online open houses are the next best thing.
It’s no secret that Toronto’s real estate market has seen a dramatic shift in how homes are purchased and sold this year due to COVID-19. And while the real estate industry is considered essential, the traditional ways of doing business -- in-person showings, open houses, and one-on-ones with agents and potential buyers -- are no longer feasible… at least until daily case numbers in local hotspots improve.
As a result, many brokerages have pivoted and are utilizing digital tools to put on online open houses and tours.
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your current living situation, whether that means you’re on the hunt for more space or perhaps just want to see what’s currently available on the market, join us for an online open house of eight listings in Toronto you can tour from the comfort of your own home.
These listings include an open-concept unit with space for a home office in Mimico, a charming 2-storey detached home that's perfect for a family, and a sleek corner suite in the heart of King West.
