interest rates and resilient home prices mean most Canadians are getting less for their homes at the $1-million benchmark, according to a new Royal LePage report.The analysis comes as would-be homebuyers continue to struggle with housing affordability, which market watchers say worsened again at the end of last year.Royal LePage released a study Thursday morning that reviewed the average square footage, bathrooms and bedrooms available for homes listed around the $1-million price tag (give or take $50,000 or so) in major cities across Canada in December 2023.The national average for a million-dollar home comes with an average of 3.2 bedrooms, 2.6 bathrooms and 1,760 square feet of space, according to the national real estate brokerage.That’s relatively consistent with a similar report from last year, but in most cities, the amount of space available in the typical $1-million home shrank year-over-year.And across those cities, there was a steep variability between what homebuyers are getting for a million dollars.“It is all about perspective,” Karen Yolevski, COO of Royal LePage, tells Global News. “Depending on where you are in Canada, where you may be looking for a home, $1 million can mean something dramatically different.”Coming in at the bottom of the pile was the core of Vancouver, which offers an average 900 square feet of space at the million-dollar mark.

white-labelled smartwatches and wireless earbuds have flooded the market with cheap copies of popular models, hurting established Indian players such as Boat. In a recent report, International Data Corporation said these cheap alternative offerings of popular models, imported from China, are diluting the first-time user experience, affecting the business of the incumbents in the market. These products, which closely resemble the design of the Apple Watch and other premium smartwatches, are also pulling down the average selling price (ASP) in the industry to record lows, making it difficult for the entrenched brands to compete or «premiumise», industry executives and experts said. The ASP in the wearable segment fell about 39% to $26.10 in 2023 from an already low $42.50 the previous year, se per IDC. «There are way too many players simply bringing products from China and selling it here. They don't have any control over the software, where the data is going, and that is just dangerous for the consumer,» said Sameeer Mehta, chief executive at Imagine Marketing which owns Boat. «These are all trader brands who have no control over the product but want to make hay in a booming market.»

Formula 1 season began this week and there was Christian Horner, the head of Red Bull Racing, still leading his team as it begins its bid for a fourth consecutive championship. Horner was also front and center a week ago at Red Bull's launch of its 2024 car — a virtual highlight reel of the success Horner has built since he became team principal in 2005. Make no mistake, the longest-tenured team leader in the F1 paddock knows how to win: Red Bull has won six constructors' championships and seven drivers' championships under Horner. But as he continues with «business as normal» — Horner's own words at the launch last week — nobody else can figure out how he has remained on the job during an internal investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct that parent company Red Bull announced on Feb. 5.
