david pylyp: Interest Rates increase in 2012 Really?
- 03/20/12 03:50 AM
We are expecting a significant mortgage rate increase in the next week. It is extremely important that you act on this now!
Spreads on our bond yields which we use to set interest rates for all lenders are under water now.Today the largest courier company Ups purchased a large courier company in Denmark, to make it the largest company in North America

david pylyp: Listing YOUR House on a FSBO Website
- 03/07/12 12:05 AM
When you list your house for sale with a Real Estate Brokerage; we are paid upon the successful completion of the transaction for bringing an offer (buyer) that was acceptable to you.
I pay for the Print Material
I pay for the Video Tours
I pay for the Signs and Lock box
"listing" a house with a REALTOR entails a contract and Agency and disclosure. Measuring and Verifying data. POSTing an ad on a website and Print magazine is not a listing. Why do people keep saying that FSBO's are listed?
When you pay up front for advertising your … (2 comments)

david pylyp: Is the SELLER scoring the best deal?
- 02/20/12 07:24 AM
The lack of homes for sale continues into the 2012 spring real estate market in Toronto. Older homes do present a challenge when you want the property but may be forced by competition to waive your Home Inspection Condition. My personal advice is to endure a few sales and bidding cycles; have a home inspector standing by who can assist in a walk through. With any older home they can only report on what can be seen. They are not permitted to open any walls or drill any holes. That is why thermal imaging is so vital. A simple 20-item home … (0 comments)

david pylyp: Toronto Forecast 2012 Real Estate
- 12/29/11 07:23 AM
Will we have the sky rocketing interest rates? Will the Toronto Condo Bubble Burst? How is our unemployment rate? The global scandals and economic meltdown of entire nations was not shared by Canadians.
The Canadian housing market has demonstrated tremendous resilience in recent years, but 2011 stands out. Instead of responding to economic concerns both here and abroad with a retreat in sales and prices, residential real estate markets actually experienced an upswing in the volatile third and final quarters. While clearly not impervious to the impact, Canadian consumers are intent on making their moves now, in advance … (0 comments)

david pylyp: Need a PET VET Bloor west Village?
- 12/05/11 02:52 AM
Our friend of 21 years became ill, lethargic and declined to beat and accost the puppy. Initially we thought nothing of the malaise for a day or two, till we noticed he was not eating. Loss of appetite for a cat, cannot be ignored. A quick run to Dr. Christopher O'Toole at the Bloor West Village Animal Hospital quickly confirmed our fears. The staff and Dr's at Bloor west were compassionate and respectful. I hope in your time of an animal friend passing you will have similar support.
Bloor West Village Animal Hospital was opened in March 2009, by … (1 comments)

david pylyp: Our Toronto Life - The adventures of Cy and Judy
- 11/12/11 02:59 PM
A wonderful young couple graced my life; Cyrus and Judy recently married and relocated to Toronto from Vancouver.
Dozens of showings, involvement in a few offers, then success with a multiple offer where a BULLY offer pushed events forward a few days. We prevailed. The strategy to have the Buyers standing nearby and actually entering the house for a "refresher" look around afforded the opportunity to meet the Sellers and develop a relationship.
I am pleased and proud to count Cy and Judy as my friends. Our Toronto Adventure will have a life of its own. We strolled … (1 comments)

david pylyp: Property Not yet Assessed
- 09/20/11 08:38 AM
So here you are; You are Purchasing a Condo and it says Taxes Not Yet Assessed.The Municipal Property Tax System (MPAC) provides you with an assessed value that is then used by the city where you reside to collect realty taxes on your unit. ( or your home ) Most of the time the MPAC assessment is based on key neighbourhood indicators; other properties like yours that have sold recently, or alternatively based on square footage of your home, square footage of your lot, recent improvements and water spigots. (Spigots are water outlets) Unless they have come out and specifically reappraised your property.
