Sometimes Real Estate has very little connection to reality it seems. I just caught a brief bit of a blurb about it (so I could be wrong as to the details) but apparently property values in Toronto have gone mad, and something not-at-all-upscale can cost more than something comparable in New York.

It's Toronto. Granted, it's not a bad city, but I wouldn't live there if given a choice. With those property values I could live more cheaply in New York, Boston, or Vancouver. (And knowing me you you likely know that I'd pick Boston or Vancouver. Neither, actually, and something smaller and closer to wild spaces, in reality, but if I *had* to choose.) To each their own, I suppose.
Hopefully the issues prove to be negligible, and you enjoy the new place as well as the new job.
