Anyone has had recent home purchases in GTA and could share reputed builders, new homes (townhouses/semidetached) in and around GTA for primary residence? Budget is $700K (which is pbbly nothing these days)

Housing market in GTA is crazy. $1MM can possibly fetch you only a semi detached home (and in some areas only townhomes). Detached home's avg price is way above $1.5m for now. Salary does play a big role in how quickly you can buy. You need 5 to 20% of downpayment so lets assume you need $100K...

Applying for visitor visa for parents, what would be the difference between Invitation Letter, Purpose of Travel letter and Client Information Letter. All 3 eventually will capture the same gist of telling purpose of travel, funding details, itinerary & strong ties with home country?
