Toronto named among the world’s top 5 most livable cities by The Economist
Three of the world’s top five most livable cities are Canadian according to The Economist, which scored 140 major metropolises across the globe on a variety of social, economic and lifestyle categories.
Toronto was ranked fourth, a spot the city has held consecutively every year since the 2009 iteration of the annual livability study. Toronto was beat out by Vancouver for third, but came out ahead of Calgary, which shared the title of fifth best with the Australian city of Adelaide.

September 7, 2016 --Toronto Real Estate Board President Larry Cerqua announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported a record 9,813 sales through TREB's MLS® System in August 2016.
While this sales result was 23.5 per cent above the number of transactions reported for August 2015, it is important to note that the majority of sales are reported on working days and there were two additional working days in August 2016 compared to 2015. When the year-over-year discrepancy in working days is accounted for, the annual percentage change in sales is closer to 13 per cent.
