Happy holidays everyone. I hope that you all have a very safe and enjoyable Christmas season. As many of you who follow the Toronto real estate market know, this year has been very much a sellers’ market. It has become very difficult to simply go out and buy a house in downtown Toronto. Our market…
The madness continues. This past month a triplex in High Park that needed a complete gut renovation asking $1.2M sold for the shocking price of $1.625M. That’s $425K over the list price. In many places that would buy you a complete other house, and then some. I also tried a bully offer this month on…
The Toronto income property market is rolling right along with all other Toronto real estate sales. Small scale duplexes, triplexes and houses with basement apartments in prime locations continue to see multiple offers and record-setting prices.

It’s World Cup Time! Opening kick-off is only now ten days away. I know I should be talking about real estate and plexes in my opening ramble, but this is more exciting. Who are you going to cheer for? Spain – since they have won the last three major tournaments? Germany – because they look…
Go Raptors Go. I think that this is the first time in my many years of writing these newsletters that I am cheering for our basketball team. Hey, playoffs are playoffs and that’s something we don’t get that often in this town. It’s great to see all the people in the square cheering on our…

Well it looks like spring is finally here. It might seem like an April Fools’ joke, but we’re supposed to get several days in a row of nice warm weather. It’s about time. The Toronto real estate market could use a jolt of spring time air as we need more people to list their homes…
