Toronto is mostly made up of 100-year-old brick houses, so the maintenance is mostly soft stuff like painting, gardening, etc. unless you do major renovations.

My last house I did, essentially, zero maintenance over a 10-year span except for a drain replacement ($2K). Every other expense was month to month expenses like heating and electrical.
When I finally decided to sell, I replaced the crappy carpet, painted the walls beige and made a 5x profit.
- jarek 11y ago> Toronto is mostly made up of 100-year-old brick houses That's true for inner Toronto but not for the suburbs as manishsharan suggested. Newer developer-built-subdivision wood-frame rules out there.
- nasalgoat 11y agoYeah, fair point. Mississauga mostly dates to the mid-70s and has some truly terrible construction.
