Toronto Income Property Newsletter – June 2019
The Raptors are in the NBA finals. Can you believe it? This series should be a lot of fun – let’s hope that they can pull it off and bring Toronto a basketball championship. Every time this team looks like they’re down, they fight back to life. What a run it has been so far.
I’ve noticed that a few properties downtown are starting to sit, whereas it seems like properties in the east districts close to downtown (E01, E02 & E03) are just flying off the shelf. Areas like Riverdale, Leslieville and the Danforth continue to be in very high demand. We don’t see near as many investment properties in these areas come up for sale as do downtown.
I’d like to wish all the Dad’s out there a Happy Father’s Day.
