Chris Fox
Chris Fox works as a managing digital producer at CP24 and CTV News Toronto, bringing a data‑driven, breaking‑news sensibility to real estate coverage within a broader digital news portfolio. His reporting on property and investment stories leans on official market intelligence and police investigations, tying numbers and enforcement actions to the wider public impact. He also builds and oversees live digital formats for major sports, politics and event coverage, which shapes the way his real estate stories are framed and delivered.
GTA condo market and new home sales
Fox’s clearest real estate work focuses on the Greater Toronto Area’s new home and condominium market, using industry data to show how sales volumes and pricing are moving against historical norms.
In a recent piece on GTA condo sales in May, he reports that only 193 new condominium units changed hands that month, placing sales 89 per cent below the 10‑year average and underscoring the depth of the sector’s slowdown. He presents the numbers from the Building Industry and Land Development Association and Altus Group in straightforward terms, detailing that total new home sales reached 1,023 in May - more than triple the record low a year earlier, but still 57 per cent below the decade average.
His coverage highlights the interaction between provincial policy and market performance, noting that an expanded Harmonized Sales Tax rebate helped low‑rise new home sales while providing little relief to high‑rise condominiums. He points to a benchmark price for new condominium apartments of just over $1 million and describes it as an apparent price floor, giving communications professionals and industry readers a clear anchor for understanding current condo pricing.
Property‑linked investment fraud and enforcement
Fox has also covered an investment fraud case involving a Toronto developer, treating it as both a financial crime story and a property‑sector warning.
In that report he states that the alleged scheme cost victims $3.49 million, drawing directly on police figures to quantify the scale of the losses. He outlines that charges were laid against two individuals in connection with the investigation, keeping the focus on the enforcement outcome and the implications for investors dealing with development‑linked opportunities. This work shows him extending beyond sales and pricing into the risks surrounding real estate investments, using clear numbers and charge details rather than commentary to signal the seriousness of the case.
Live sports and real‑time event coverage
Alongside real estate stories, Fox spends significant time running live digital coverage of major sporting events, which informs the way he handles pace and updates in his reporting. He has produced extended live blogs for high‑profile baseball series, including an 18‑inning Blue Jays–Dodgers game and multi‑game coverage marked by score changes, pitching decisions and swing moments captured in near real time. His bylines also appear on live update streams for international tournaments hosted in Canada, such as World Cup matches where he tracks crowd reactions, key plays and the evolving stakes as games move into overtime.
This experience with rapid, incremental publishing is visible in the structure of his real estate work, which prioritizes key figures, trend statements and policy details at the top, then builds out context as readers scroll.
National politics and high‑profile interviews
Fox’s remit includes federal politics, where he has managed live blogs of major campaign days and policy announcements. In one election‑focused piece, he tracks the introduction of 25 per cent counter‑tariffs on certain U.S. vehicles, logging quotes from the prime minister and outlining exemptions for auto parts within a running updates format. He has also conducted a feature interview with Prince Harry, focusing on the royal’s views on Canada and its role in the world, which shows his ability to handle high‑profile subjects while keeping the copy tightly focused on newsworthy themes.
This combination of political live coverage and exclusive interviews gives his real estate stories a broader context, positioning housing data and fraud cases within the larger narratives of public policy, affordability and national interest.

A second strand of her coverage focuses on relocation, remote work, and cheap cities as everyday economic strategies. She regularly uses rankings and lists, such as best and worst states to buy a home and Rising Stars of Real Estate, and reads city housing and migration shifts as signs of broader economic change.
