Toronto – September 17th, 2025: Ourboro, a Toronto company focused on expanding access to homeownership through co-ownership, is marking several important milestones:
- 250+ families have become homeowners with Ourboro’s shared equity model;
- Total value of co-owned properties exceed $200 million;
- A growing network of over 2,500 realtors and mortgage brokers have joined Ourboro’s referral partner program.
In Toronto, it takes the average household nearly 10 years of disciplined saving to reach a down payment large enough for a non-condo home, according to National Bank of Canada’s Q1 2025 Housing Affordability Monitor. Ourboro’s shared equity model offers a faster path. By co-investing in the down payment, Ourboro helps buyers purchase a home today—while offering investors exposure to a high-demand, underutilized asset class: owner-occupied residential real estate.
“Ourboro is not just helping families into homes – we’re helping them build generational wealth,” said Nicholas Pope, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Ourboro. “And for our investors, the model is anchored in a stable asset class that, through shared equity, has created alignment with the success of everyday homeowners.”
“Reaching these wonderful milestones is a testament to the power of innovation, partnership, and purpose,” said Miles Nadal, Founder and Executive Chairman of Peerage Capital, a majority stakeholder in Ourboro. “Ourboro’s co-ownership model is transforming the path to homeownership, empowering families to move in today, build equity for tomorrow, and create generational wealth. We are proud to stand alongside Ourboro as it opens the door to opportunity. This is one step closer to the goal of helping 10,000 Canadians unlock $10 billion of equity through the dream of homeownership.”
How does Ourboro’s co-ownership model work?
Ourboro manages several private real estate funds, allowing fund investors to gain residential real estate exposure. Using these funds, Ourboro invests alongside homeowners by contributing toward the initial down payment in exchange for a proportionate share in the future appreciation when the home is sold. The unique model aligns the goals of investors with that of co-owners, where successful homeownership means successful investments. This approach offers a fresh solution to the challenges of first-time homeownership, giving families renewed confidence that the dream is both alive and attainable.
