If you own real estate and you're thinking of selling, we would be happy to provide you with a FREE HOME EVALUATION .  This is not a drive by or quick walk through of your home. I take extensive notes of the Lot size, Structure square footage, Building design, exterior finishing, Interior finishing, Room sizes, Flooring, Electrical, Plumbing, Furnace, Air conditioning, Windows, Hardware, Cabinets,  Baths, Showers, Sinks, Tile and much more. Then I research all comparable properties weighing the differences to find the most comparable. Now the process of searching land titles on all sales of that property and surrounding properties. Exclusive to Realtors is a tool that can search back as far as 1982 on all MLS sales of similar properties in the area. Now with all this information we can estimate property annual / quarterly and even monthly appreciation. Now taking into consideration the time of year it may be we can also research the amount of time similar properties take to sell. Taking all this information into account I will prepare for you a written Comparable Market Analysis including all the above-mentioned information for you to set your own price. When you’re selling your home, the price you set is a critical factor. The house value estimation is the most important part of market analysis. If your thinking of updating or renovating prior to listing to maximize the sale price of your property I can aid you in giving you a Comparable Market Analysis of homes in the condition yours will be when the update is finished. With a background of 20 plus years in residential construction and renovation my experience will surely be an asset. Call me first before spending thousands of dollars on updates that may not increase the value of your property as hoped. Don’t forget you have to live in a construction zone, in my experience this is the one major factor home owners underestimate.

              TORONTO MARKET WATCH FALL 2006

TORONTO CONDO MARKET UPDATE  

Toronto has the largest condominium market in North America. Last year, there were more than 16,000 condominium suites sold here — Chicago saw only 6,800 sales, New York City had 6,450 and Miami, 7,500. There are now 245 new condo projects in Toronto with suites ranging in price from $112,000 to $12 million.

Strength of the Toronto market is backed by many factors including affordability, our healthy Canadian economy, low interest rates and high demand.

With an annual population growth of 108,000 (representing 44,000 households) in the GTA, the need for new homes and condominiums will persist. Intense competition means that prices cannot be raised artificially, so the people buying condos are mostly end users, not investors. In the 1980s, there weren’t nearly the number of condo projects available, interest was a lot higher, and investors were inflating prices.

Toronto ’s exceptional condo market is not a bubble that will burst at the first sign of change. The first quarter of 2006 resulted in nearly 3,800 condo units sold here, which is 34 per cent more than the same period last year.

This strong start occurred despite the eight per cent increase in prices over last year.

So what are you waiting for? You have more condo selection than ever before, in great locations with affordable prices, a higher level of finishes including standards that would have been considered upgrades a couple years ago, and excellent value. Now is a great time to buy.

IS THERE REAL ESTATE BUBBLE IN CANADA?

In Canada — where real estate is enjoying a record long bull market - there is no bubble to burst. And forecasts keep predicting a rosy housing future, even though affordability is being eroded by higher prices, which are averaging $367,226 in Toronto. Canada’s multi-year boom in multi-unit construction shows no sign of letting up.

What is slowing, though, is construction of single-detached homes, which are becoming too expensive for first-time buyers.

Overall, that means what’s ahead is hardly a housing collapse. Rising home and land costs are making more affordable housing options, such as condominiums and town homes increasingly attractive, particularly for first-time buyers.

Who’s buying? According to statistics Canadians are snapping up condos in the 20-to-29-age bracket, and those 55 and older. Bottom line is: Both empty nesters and young professionals like the idea of living closer to downtown cores, which cuts down on commuting time. Investors are also turning to condos as ways to diversify their portfolios.

STATISTICS FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTORS

Here's some good news for investors.

Condo rents are rising in Toronto, says a rental market report by the Toronto Real Estate Board, with lease prices up in every category from January to April and the benchmark two-bedroom rate up 2% from $1,725 a month to $1,765.
