markland wood: Toronto Home Sales off to a strong start in 2012 - 01/17/12 08:16 PM

The first real estate post that I notice is that "the eventual increase in interest rates will lead to a decline in home prices (probably in the magnitude of 10% - 15%)" http://research.cibcwm.com/economic_public/download/if_2012-0116.pdf The ink was barely cold on the presses when the pundits were howling about interest rate increases.

The opportunity is hereAt the same time that our economic engines are faltering, something else is happening. Like all revolutions, it happens in fits and starts, without perfection, but it's clearly happening.
The mass market is being replaced by multiple micro markets and the long tail … (0 comments)

markland wood: Toronto Life Names Crash Proof Neighbourhoods - 10/09/08 07:40 AM
With speculation about a slowing economy, everyone's searching for a little security. Here are [Toronto Life's] picks for crash-resistant neighbourhoodsThe most important consideration in buying crash-proof real estate is the overall vitality of a neighbourhood. Look for areas with thriving local businesses and well-maintained homes that are accessible by TTC. Districts with a diverse mix (detached, semis, towns, apartments and condos) at a variety of price points means you won't run the risk of living in a bust area if, say, townhouses go out of fashion (ultra-high-end condos, which tend to attract foreign investment, are the exception). Flexibility is another key; … (0 comments)
