Toronto is nowhere near as expensive as New York. In Toronto, you can get a decent detached house in a downtown blue-collar neighbourhood or (a nicer one in the 'burbs) for under 500k. You can get a beautiful home in an elite neighbourhood for 750k.

I live in Toronto and I would love to buy a place in downtown Toronto for sub-500K. The house I live in now is "valued" at $500K and is nowhere special, but it's awesome.

    sub-500K = $499K? I guess you are right, technically. Once you get past $490, they are duplexes.
