homes: I Believe in Toronto Market Watch Update Dec 2010 - 12/03/10 03:12 AM
In November 2010 there were 6,510 sales for the month. Although this is a bit slower than last year, these are very strong numbers. The number of homes for sale has dropped dramatically and we’re down to only 15,K units right now. In the GTA as a whole, we currently have less than 2 ½ month’s supply of homes for sale.

homes: Speculation on Toronto Housing Bubble Continues - 06/01/10 01:23 AM
Except this time there is a calmer voice joining in to the endless chorus The Toronto Housing Bubble will burst conversation. The CBC was following up a piece that was run May 28th 2010 by the Financial Post. The Post is quoting the DBRS (Debt Bond Rating Service) that the continued stability in Canada, our banking systems and stricter credit policies all enforce the concept that the Canadian banking system and mortgage portfolio is doing just fine.
Canada’s housing market is expected to cool off this year and next, but isn’t at risk of falling victim to a U.S.-style foreclosure crisis … (6 comments)

The Lack of inventory will be the greatest challenge facing housing markets across the country this Spring, according to a report released today by RE/MAX. The RE/MAX Market Trends Report 2010, which examined real estate trends and developments in 16 markets across the country, found that unusually strong activity during one of the traditionally quietest months of the year has led to a sharp decline in active listings in 81 per cent of markets surveyed. “There have never been so many motivating factors in play at once,” says Michael Polzler, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada. “We’re in for a heated … (3 comments)

This house is definitely FU with P.
The first time I heard it, I was a touch shocked. Did I miss something? Was it slang? Could I have missed their intended comment.
Real Estate has many acronyms that we need to learn. The most common it seems is furnace which regularly is referred to as GB & E [gas burner and equipment]. One that seems to have retired is SS&SD, Storms, screens & storm doors. No one seems to mention the myriad of extra outside windows that are bolted, screwed and wedged in to protect us from a Canadian winter. … (7 comments)
