I know. Toronto isn’t getting any cheaper these days, despite all the chatter of prices leveling off or bursting bubbles. And that makes it tough for trying to find a home you can love and […]
I think my favourite tag line for a Toronto real estate news story this month has to be: Toronto Bungalow Sells for $421,800 Over Asking Price in Market’s “New Reality” New Reality? Really? This tag […]
Regent Park. Outside of Toronto those words never meant much, but here in our city, it is often known as the dodgy neighbourhood that went very, very wrong for a very long time. The funny […]
Today I’m gonna mention an emerging neighbourhood that’s pretty far afield. In fact, it’s not even in Canada. I couldn’t sell there myself, but it’s certainly worth mentioning. I just arrived home from Miami and […]
Lately, I have been getting a lot of people asking me about where to find a condo with some space without breaking the bank. Developers in Toronto are making more condos that are smaller than […]
I’ve been spending quite a bit of my working hours in Long Branch these days, the western-most portion of Toronto along the lake. And even though I’ve been familiar with this area of the city […]

Usually in these rants, I like to go on about the city as a whole or zone in on a specific emerging neighbourhood – those transforming areas of Toronto that are changing from downtrodden or […]
Sure it’s a little odd of me to offer predictions about Toronto in 2025 when I have a recent blog explaining how most specialists who try to guess where the housing market is going in […]
One of the ugliest intersections in this city has to be Dundas West and Bloor Street. It’s more undecided and poorly planned than excessively dangerous or any thing of that nature. I often scratch my head wondering […]
Whether you’re waiting in line at the supermarket, sitting around the festive turkey or after enough New Years’ drinks where you feel you have the right to be heard yourself, predictions in real estate for […]
This past week, I toured a few properties with a new client from Montreal. After spending over a decade living in Canada’s second largest city, she decided it was time to call our country’s largest […]
After many years, Toronto Life has finally decided to update their “where to buy next” list in their Toronto Real Estate Guide 2012. (I would attach this list, but it’s only available in print at the […]
