If you look at the numbers especially year over year it appears the housing market has nearly doubled in its transaction capacity. Make no mistake the housing and condo market are doing very well! But some of the numbers are overblown a bit because the last 2 weeks of March 2020 is when Covid-19 really started to shake the Real Estate Market in Toronto and the number of transactions fell considerably compared to the first 2 weeks of March 2020. Fast forward to March 2021 the Real Estate market is strong with buyers and sellers on the move. Many buyers and sellers have realized they need more space. Working from home has created a new need for homeowners and it shows in the stats! Also, first time buyers are leaving the family home and buying their first home. The reason... View Article

Considering everything we have experienced this year, there are a few bright spots. One is the housing market in Toronto and surrounding areas. We have witnessed daily the pain small and large businesses are experiencing in an economy propped up by the federal government but the strength of the housing market also tells another story of an economy that is still growing and is resilient to an overall wobbling economy. In the last recession the Toronto housing market faired very well compared to other parts of the country and now Toronto is demonstrating that again. There are bright spots for first time home buyers interested in buying a condo. In the 416 condo apartments have declined 3% in price. The other bright spot is for first time condo buyers. The First Time Home Buyer Incentive will be increased for specific markets including Toronto. This incentive may get you... View Article
September 3, 2020 11:00 amPublished by Stephen PryceComments Off on We had a hot August!
August in Real Estate is usually a sleepy month. This is a time where families are concentrating on vacation’s more than buying a new home. This year everything is different because of Covid. We had our Spring market start in June and has carried on through August. The fall market is now here and I am sure September will be a busy month for properties coming to market. Will buyers be there to purchase? I believe so! One of the reason’s is families are looking for more room. Working from home has taken on a whole new aspect to a home’s function. Many condo dweller’s are especially feeling the squeeze for space and will be looking to move into the freehold market. There are many buyer’s waiting for the market to correct (prices reducing). I don’t see this for freehold but there... View Article
August 7, 2020 11:49 amPublished by Stephen PryceComments Off on Don Mouth naturalization and Portlands Flood project.
Over the last few decades the Don River has become a go to place for people to exercise, get away from the concrete jungle and to have a good time with their time off. The mouth of the Don River where it flows into lake Ontario is an industrial eyesore. It’s not just an eyesore but also has become a flooding issue when we get major storms. When the Don floods so does the Don Valley Parkway and Go transit tracks and surrounding areas. When it floods, it really floods! With future development to the north and south of Lakeshore Blvd, a plan was developed to capture this water overflow and debris. Also, to naturalize the mouth of the Don River. This is a very big undertaking! Currently water flows from the Don into Keating Strait, then into Lake Ontario.... View Article
August 6, 2020 10:24 amPublished by Stephen PryceComments Off on Strong market sales!
Year over year stats can be misleading especially this year with Covid-19. Covid-19 delayed what would have been an extremely busy spring. Our spring market this year started in mid-June and continued through July and I am sure to some extent will continue into August. Traditionally July and August are slower months compared to other months for the real estate market. These current sales stats will show year over year sales have had a big swing but it’s all relative to what the market does normally for this time of year. Important info here is home prices are still climbing even though there is a large volume of leases available. To date, this has not affected the housing market with particular focus on condominiums. Investors are taking short term pain hoping for long term gain. Will this change when mortgage deferrals end?
July 11, 2020 8:31 pmPublished by Stephen PryceComments Off on No one has a crystal ball!
but, Real Estate data can point us in the right direction. Covid-19 really made a mess of people’s plans to buy and sell property during the spring market. The spring market is the busiest time of year for Real Estate. Now that Toronto is slowly reopening, the Real Estate Market is picking up steam! Overall listings year over year are down for freehold houses and condos. What happens when you have less supply on the market? There is more demand for the properties that are on the market! June stats show year over year prices have escalated. Has Covid-19 affected the Real Estate market? It has in a big way and the entire reality of Covid-19 has not been fully played out. The alarming part of these stats are lease listings. As I write this newsletter there are over 5700 condo units... View Article
