Buying a home in Toronto with a starting budget of $900,000 basically puts you right on track to purchasing an averagely-priced detached house. While it won't necessarily get you the most glamorous abode in the city, it'll get you a property with all the necessities, and maybe some potential for remodeling in the future.

Here's what a $900,000 house looks like in Toronto vs. other cities.

Toronto - $899,999 CAD

This three-bedroom bungalow is nestled right in the heart of the ample green space by Jane and Sheppard. Its humble exterior doesn't allude much to its fully renovated interior, which has a self contained basement with its own entrance and a second kitchen.

Built in 1951, this stately home has been renovated to include teak floors, multiple fireplaces, a heated salt-water pool with a patio, and a second-story deck. It's also right next to Terra Cotta Park, Point-Claire's beautiful urban woodland park.

Surrey, British Columbia - $899,000

Miami, Florida - $898,962 CAD
