There is a familiar strategy in Toronto real estate that many listing agents and sellers like to use, if the market conditions are right. If demand is high and supply is low, many listings will […]
I confess. I love following condo construction in Toronto. I follow pre-construction condos very closely. I am razzled and dazzled by the proposal locations, the design (or lack of design), and how a number of […]
People look for consistency in a real estate market – even if it’s not always there. It comes from a bigger desire in our live to see patterns and make sense of the world. So, […]
If there was one part of the Toronto real estate market to really be hammered by Covid, it would have to be the residential rental market. Renters were disproportionately affected by Covid. More job loss. […]
I’m often asked, “When is the best time to buy or sell real estate in Toronto?” or “What season are you able to get the best bang for your buck?” Luckily, in a city as […]
