I live near Toronto. We are doing a bath renovation and the stress level is up there. Making our home ready to sell in this insane housing market. Value of our house has more than quadrupled since we purchased 17 years ago. We have a third property attached to our existing lot that we can build on for hopefully less than what it would cost to buy a similar size. However that cost of lumber has also skyrocketed so not sure about the value of building a home is now.
