During a meeting with Toronto Mayor, John Tory, Sajwani praised Toronto's diverse community, which continues to attract highly skilled professionals from around the world as well as international investors looking to get a foothold in Toronto's lucrative property sector. Strong demand for condominiums and family homes in the Greater Toronto Area continues to make the city an ideal investment location.
"In a way, Toronto and Dubai share a number of similarities, as both cities continue to attract skilled professionals and investors who are looking for a stable, friendly market to raise their families while offering strong investment returns on property purchases," said Sajwani. "Both cities are leaders in attracting top talent from around the world, both offer a rich, culturally-diverse environment that is safe, vibrant, and family friendly, but most importantly, both cities have a burgeoning property market that continues to show resilience and is able to deliver strong returns."
Toronto has experienced surging property prices for the last few years due to continued demand by citizens and foreigners. Canada's federal housing agency, , said the current stabilization in prices will be short-lived, and is an immediate market reaction to the Ontario government's recent introduction of a 15 percent tax on foreign buyers, aimed at slowing down overheating housing prices.
