buyer information: It's always a good time to buy!
- 06/17/09 06:08 AM
Now is a good time to jump into the market. The real estate market in Toronto, Mississauga and the GTA has come back to life. It's always a Buyer's Market, no matter what the statistics say! Remember, even during slow times, thousands of people in Toronto & the GTA buy and sell homes. Properties are selling quicker and, at times, in multiple offer situations. Things like this may be occurring, but you can still take a more liesurely approach to your home search; it wasn't such a fun experience during the boom days, when you could spend more time choosing your next pair of new shoes … (0 comments)

buyer information: Remember "Rumour has it 22 offers?"
- 06/03/09 05:25 AM
Well, the property finally sold. When it was first put on the market, it was listed for $299,000.00. It had been taken back to the rafters, studs and floor boards. Then they received 22 offers. The property was conditionally sold, but that fell through. The property was then relisted at 329,000.00. I don't know how many offers were received at that pricepoint, but there was obviously more than one as the property sold for well over the list price.

buyer information: Good news for the Toronto & GTA Real Estate Market in May.
- 06/02/09 07:54 AM
The Toronto/GTA Real Estate Market posted it's first year over year gain since 2007 as May 2009 put in a strong performance. Prices are down, but only very very slightly. Actually, the market started to show signs of life in February and has been gaining momentum since. The summer should carry it's usual slow down, July and August are normally very slow. However, if the market continues its momentum in the Fall, then I think we have a real recovery on our hands.

buyer information: This is genius!
- 05/06/09 07:23 AM
I just received an email with a marketing promotion. Buy two homes, one in Schomberg, Ontario and the other in Wildwood, Florida. How much will this cost you ask? Buy two homes priced from the low 300's (total for both). Now that is genius. Whoever thought this up should get a promotion or (dare I say) a great big bonus, if it works. Here's the link: http://www.triumphliving.ca You know, if I could, I'd jump right on this. This approach is definately thinking outside the box. … (0 comments)

buyer information: Update to a previous post "What the Provincial Government is doing that is going to cost you more money"
- 04/29/09 02:24 AM
Earlier in this Blog, I posted "What the Provincial Governement is doing that is going to cost you more money". In that post, one of the subjects discussed was the Provinicial Government's intention to legislate mandatory energy audits by all homeowners who wish to sell their property. After efforts from the Toronto Real Estate Board and their members, the Provincial Government has now indicated a significant change to the legislation which will be amended to allow the buyers to opt out of the energy audit. This is a significant change to the bill (Bill 150), which has NOT yet passed. … (0 comments)
buyer information: Toronto Real Estate price map
- 04/28/09 05:45 AM
The GLOBE AND MAIL had a great piece in this past Saturday's newspaper. I have to thank my friend Michael, for forwarding it to me. It is an interactive map of areas of Toronto showing comparisons to selling prices of houses so far in 2008 & 2009. It would have been even better if the entire GTA was included, but I'm sure that will happen sometime down the road. What the map shows is that some parts of the real estate market in the city are doing even better right now, while some are still down quite a bit from last … (0 comments)
