Most cars lose value the moment they leave the dealership lot, but a tiny fraction become six‑figure assets. Wealthy collectors are no longer looking only at stocks and real estate; they are parking some of their portfolio in classic cars like Ferraris, Gullwings, and early 911s that have outpaced many traditional assets over the past decade.

At a Barrett-Jackson auction in Arizona recently, someone paid over $300,000 for a fully restored 1967 Mustang Eleanor Fastback, made famous in Gone in 60 Seconds (2000).

That’s high level, though. Many people buy the original car and restore it themselves, or have someone restore it for them. Some look to sell, to re-coup the investment, maybe generate a profit. The costs going that route are “absolutely huge”, says Tim Winton, the founder of Cambrian Classics, a family-run businesses specializing in classic car repair and servicing, located in Wales, is just the person, whether it’s hands-on, bringing your classic car in for servicing, or consultation over a Zoom call.

On the Toronto real estate front, sales in the GTA luxury sector are slowly increasing this fall and winter, not back to where the market was in 2022, but slowly ticking up. Neighbourhood is one of the most critical factors in assessing a property’s value.

Recent reports (2025 mid-year data from Sotheby’s International Realty Canada and Engel & Völkers) show ultra-luxury sales ($10M+) surging despite broader market slowdowns, concentrated in prime areas where neighborhood prestige drives demand from high-net-worth buyers, including international investors and downsizers seeking privacy and proximity to elite amenities.

Lawrence Park (including Yonge-Lawrence area), family-oriented with its excellent schools, parks and suburban feel, elegant homes on large lots, quick downtown access, consistently ranks as one of Toronto’s finest neighbourhoods. With Toronto real estate, like in any other major urban centre, neighborhood is paramount: it defines prestige, lifestyle, resale potential, and ultimately, 50–70%+ of a property’s value premium in elite areas. Buyers pay for the address as much as the home.

Which bring us to The Aston Residences at Yonge and Lawrence, a boutique residence featuring 77 spacious home-sized suites. Prices start at CAD $1.8 million. Home owners in affluent neighborhoods like Rosedale and Forest Hill are often looking at these types of condo properties – they are technically downsizing, but not really downsizing in terms of square footage, plus they want the amenities that come with luxury condo living.

Janice Fox, broker of record, Hazelton Real Estate Inc., in Yorkville, overseeing sales for the project, knows exactly how prime location, especially in Toronto, can impact Toronto real estate values.

In the Greater Toronto Area, the definition of “luxury real estate” has always been a moving target. Prices have climbed, stabilized, and climbed again, but the expectations of buyers in the $1.5-million to $4-million bracket remain constant: they want a home that feels curated, modern, and investment-smart.

And in a high-interest environment like today’s, homeowners who want to elevate their space are making one crucial shift—they’re thinking strategically about financing.

Major banks like RBC, TD and Scotiabank have a variety of options to set up HELOCs secured to your real estate holding with rates around prime (4.45%) plus 20% in some cases, max borrow amounts up to 80% LTV.

Our expert Sean Cooper lays out some options for those people looking to use their real estate equity to boost their financial position in 2026.
