After taking a look at various cities globally for my family, I\u2019ve decided to share some of my thoughts. In this post, I\u2019m going to be comparing the prices of real estate in Toronto with Manchester, London, Vancouver, Montreal, and Hong Kong.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

London<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

Prices in London Zone 1 \u2014 going for \u00a32000 per square foot.<\/p>

Hmm.. To purchase a one bedroom unit, you\u2019re going to be spending approximately 1 million pounds. The rent you would get monthly would be around \u00a32,000, so your gross yield will be capped at around 2.5%.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Manchester<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

Now, we\u2019ll move into a cheaper area \u2014 Manchester. In fact, Manchester is a rather popular location to buy real estate for Asian clients, given that they have no foreign buyer taxes. However, there is one issue \u2014 mortgage. Good luck \u2014 you\u2019re going to need it with the high interest rates they have. On the upside? The yield is not too shabby, having the gross yield being around 5%.<\/p>

But wait \u2014 remember Brexit? The unemployment rate in the city of Manchester is rather high. Therefore, if you\u2019re purchasing in hopes to get rental income, you might want to consider investing in student housing instead, which can at least offer you an annual return of 8%.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Vancouver<\/strong><\/u><\/p>

One of my favourite locations in the world, surrounded by nature and mild weather. It\u2019s a perfect place for retirement. The city itself is home to many professional retirees. However, their lack of employment opportunities has put a large dent in their growth, deeply affecting the Chinese capital. With Beijing strengthening their capital outflow, we may not expect the market to pick up much growth again until Beijing relaxes their policies. Currently, a one-bedroom in Vancouver is around the $700,000. If you choose to rent it out, you\u2019d be able to competitively price it at around $2,000 a month, bringing you a gross yield of approximately 3.42%.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sydney<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

Given it\u2019s rather isolated location, it\u2019s heavily impacted by the Chinese as well, meaning they would be facing similar problems as Beijing regarding their capital outflow. A one-bedroom in Australia is priced at around $900,000AUD, and you\u2019d be able to rent it out at around $2,400AUD a month. That gives you a gross yield of around 3.2%.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Good, ol\u2019 Toronto<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

We all know that the Toronto economy is known for its diversity. We have people ranging from IT, Banking. Legal Consulting, and major universities that drive up the population. In fact, our IT industry has been rapidly expanding. In the last two years, Toronto has had more new IT job opportunities added to the market than New York and San Francisco combined<\/em>.<\/p>

Toronto real estate is driven by our highly-skilled immigrants, such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, architects, interior designers and IT professionals such as software engineers and developers. These immigrants are coming from a variety of regions too, such as China, India, the Middle East, Russia, and the Philippines. This means we aren\u2019t as heavily impacted by China\u2019s changing policies. A one-bedroom condo in the core of Downtown Toronto is approximately $550,000 and can be rented out at $2,100 monthly. That puts us in a great yield at more than 4.5%!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
