Townhouses held up somewhat better. For buyers who want to stay in the GTA without taking on detached-home prices, condos remain the most accessible meaningful entry point, with an average price of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/toronto-teacher-salary-grid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$636,323<\/a> across Toronto&#8217;s TRREB districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"ott\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/ottawa-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Ottawa<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ottawa gives dog owners a good mix of trails, parks, and relatively manageable housing options. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oreb.ca\/newsroom\/ottawa-home-sales-hold-steady-as-new-listings-ease-in-july\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OREB&#8217;s July 2026 report<\/a> put the composite benchmark at $634,000.
