Why people move from Toronto
Many Toronto owners are weighing more space, hybrid work and a lower daily pace against the commute.
The Barrie GO line runs from Union Station through Downsview Park, Rutherford, Maple, King City, Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury and Bradford to Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront, with weekday and weekend service on the current Metrolinx schedule.

Compare before you leave
Compare what your Toronto home could sell for with what the same budget buys in Barrie.
In August 2026, TRREB reported an average sale price of $979,684 in Toronto and $667,703 in Barrie, across all home types. These are one-month averages, and the mix of homes sold differs between the two (Toronto has a different share of condos, townhouses and detached homes), so use them for context, not as a like-for-like comparison.
