Preferred region



How does this work?

Homebuyers can get more for their money in Brighton, Ontario than in Mississauga.

The small community of Brighton is located on Lake Ontario, not far from Belleville and east of Oshawa.

It is home to Presqu’ile Provincial Park, known for bird watching. The municipality is in an apple-producing region and is known for its annual Applefest.

With a population of just over 12,000, it is much smaller than Mississauga.

Even though real estate prices have fallen, the average price of a detached home in Mississauga was $1,461,044 in September. So $600,000 will not get people a house in Mississauga, but outside the Greater Toronto Area.

Here’s what homebuyers can get for $600,000 in Brighton vs. Mississauga:
