And there's an airport a stone's throw away! :O

Agree completely. I'm having a hard time figuring out what I've already clicked on. Pleased with the overall look - very polished!

Looks like an application to demolish the interior has been filed with the city: Application: Building Additions/Alterations Status: Not Started Location: 500 LAKE SHORE BLVD W TORONTO ON Ward 20: Trinity-Spadina Application#: 11 171350 BLD 00 BA...

I don't like how neither bathroom is directly accessible - you have to go through a room to get to one. It's not a dealbreaker, but may be inconvenient for guests.

You knowingly bought in a development adjacent to DND grounds and an airport and suddenly the neighbourhood is a problem?

Canadian Tire has a few sets suitable for small balconies: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/2/OutdoorLiving/4/PatioFurniture/BistroConversationSets.jsp These can also be left outside in winter as long as the balcony doesn't get too windy.

I'm sorry, did that price list say $47,000 for parking??!! WOW.

I guess it depends on what's laid out in the disclosure statement when all purchasers first buy, and that's usually written on the assumption that all units will be sold, with allocated common expenses to each unit based on size. If it turns out that the builder doesn't sell all the units and...

My understanding is that after final closing, the builder takes title on any unsold units. Then as the registered owner, the builder would pay all maintenance fees due to the condominium corporation and property taxes to the municipality. Unless there is some special arrangement between the...

Uh. this article pretty much just stole Gristle's post in this thread. See bolded sections:

Builders know that buyers stand to profit handsomely from price appreciation in a hot market and will often use that to their advantage. This includes changing floorplans to accommodate unforeseen building issues, which normally would qualify as a material change, rending the agreement of...

It's too bad listings aren't counted as new unless there's a new seller. Surely, TREB has this information - they just don't want to report it.

This is an example of how per square foot rental calculations are guidelines only. $2250 to rent in Regent Park is... ambitious.

Sorry, that wasn't what I meant and I see now how my choice of words were misleading. In raising the 40-year amortization example, I meant to illustrate that just because the product was no longer offered, didn't mean that people didn't continue down a 40-year amortization. So after 5 years...

I'm not 100% sure, so I welcome someone more knowledgeable to weigh in here, but I don't think they can just shrink your amortization once your term is up. But rules may be different for non-conventional mortgages. I don't know anyone with a 40-year amortization though.

I believe the new rules only impact new mortgages, not renewals. Similar to when maximum amortizations were reduced from 40 to 35 years, those homeowners had the option to renew at their original 40 year amortization when their terms expired, but it became a grandfathered product unavailable...

And yet, the ward's councillor knows enough of something to have a community meeting less than 3 weeks later. I love you, Toronto!

The rumours are true - some new changes are coming: Government to introduce new mortgage rules CTV.ca News Staff Updated: Sun. Jan. 16 2011 9:56 PM ET Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is expected to introduce new regulations on Monday designed to reduce Canadians' skyrocketing household debt...

Try The Monitoring Centre. Terrible name, but it seems to get pretty good reviews. It's a high upfront cost for equipment, but the monthly monitoring costs are low (prepaid annually).

How does that work?
