Editor’s note – this blog may be a little biased. After living in this neighbourhood for over 5 years, I absolutely love it!! Walking distance to parks, Forest Hill Village, shops, bars and restaurants, you’re near everything imaginable. North West: this corner you’ll find 500 St Clair Ave West and the construction for 530 St [...]

Many of my clients have been concerned about what they’ve been reading in the news. In response, I’ve mentioned that the speculation about the bursting of the housing market bubble has been floating around for a few years now.

I find it hard to write about anything with the word ‘fall’ in it. Thoughts of leaves turning colour and warm hoodies make the summer lover in me a little depressed. However, a great pick me up is the Toronto Fall Home Show, going on both September 22nd – 25th at the Better Living Centre [...]

NAR (National Assocition of Realtorss) statistics show FSBOs (For Sale By Owner’s) accounted for 9% of home sales in 2010. Of course it sounds easy – just stick the ‘For Sale’ sign in the lawn and wait for the offers to come in.
