Why Historic Homes Are a Trap : Luxury Money Pit!

That century-old mansion in Rosedale or The Annex might look like a dream, but behind the charm could be one of the biggest financial traps in Toronto real estate.

Buying a historic luxury home isn’t just about owning character and legacy. In many cases, it means dealing with strict heritage restrictions, massive renovation costs, insurance challenges, and never-ending maintenance bills that most buyers never see coming.

In this video, Toronto Realtor Jyoti Shamnani breaks down the harsh realities of owning a historic home in Toronto and explains why these properties can quietly drain millions from even high-net-worth buyers.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅ Why heritage designation limits what you can do to your own home
✅ How outdated wiring, plumbing, and foundations can cost $50K–$100K+
✅ The true cost of renovating a historic luxury home in Toronto
✅ Why banks and insurers see heritage homes as high-risk
✅ Why resale can be harder than you think
✅ Who should actually buy a historic home — and who should stay away

This video isn’t about crushing dreams. It’s about protecting buyers from making an emotional decision that turns into a financial nightmare.
