for sale: GTA March Sales Up by 11% (Toronto) - 04/18/11 08:23 AM


GTA March 2011 Second Best March Ever
Ontario Real Estate Source
Brian Madigan LL.B.
The sales in the GTA for single family homes are reported by the Toronto Real Estate Board to be the second best March ever.
March was a good month, but how good?
Let's see how many homes have sold in the month of March since 2004:
2004..........9,076
2005..........7,904
2006..........8,707
2007..........8,518
2008..........6,631
2009..........6,171
2010..........10,430
2011..........9,262
The average number of monthly sales in March is 8,337. That means that March 2011 is 11.09% higher than the average over the last eight years. It is risky to go … (2 comments)

for sale: GTA First Quarter Results (Toronto) - 04/18/11 08:12 AM


GTA First Quarter Maintains Steady Pace
Ontario Real Estate Source
Brian Madigan LL.B.
How is the real estate market this year? That's a simple enough question. While many will respond by referring to the latest week or the latest month, the true measure of the 2011 market, at this time is to look at the first quarter numbers and compare that to other first quarters in previous years.
Sometimes, some of the February sales take place in January and sometimes some of them take place in March. Such "fine tuning" can distort the results and lead to erroneous conclusions.

for sale: Mortgage Rates are Rising - 04/05/11 02:59 AM
Mortgage Rates are Rising
Three major banks, Royal Bank, Bank of Montreal and TD Canada Trust are raising their fixed rate mortgages today.
For those who wish to ensure "peace of mind" in the buying process, this will raise the price of a property.
If the trend extends to variable rates, and across the board to other institutions, this could have a negative effect on the Spring market.
If you are planning to purchase then you should lock-in a mortgage rate today. If the rate goes up before closing you are protected. If the rate goes down, then you get the … (0 comments)
