Well it's quite obvious the emergency interest rates is what pushed buyers back into the market. We're actually more in a V shape right. the low being early of 2009 and the high being right now. A V shape recovery in any business tends not to be healthy. As others have stated. 19% increase...

For sure you'll see some prices go back up after the people who hold out jump back in, however traditionally it should follow a "W" model where prices will hit a "low" point after the people have bought are done before it begins to recover.

I looked at 2 houses on sudbury and found that they are all very narrow. There are stairs all over the place as they are in deed 3 levels.

considering the only way they can light the building is by using par cans on the sidewalk, making it permanent is not an option unless they could attach the lights to buildings across the street. They set up for their Haiti special which aired Friday.

The things i hate most about the square are as follows The light poles - they look like giant crab legs. I haven't paid much attention but they even turn the lights on for this? The info booth on the South West corner - this was obviously added after but could they not have combined it...

As I mentioned earlier last I heard was Rogers was debating even putting up the City TV sign due to the advertising tax. But as Tuscani pointed out that may just apply to 3rd party advertisers. I've noticed minimal progress in regards to the ticker. To be honest after the recent layoffs I...

I live in the neighbourhood and town houses at Kennedy/sheppard when they were available sold between $320-370K. That being said bungalows are going in the neighbourhood for about $400K. Personally I'd rather have a freehold at that price.

my friend actually moves in next week so have no thoughts about the building yet. If I were to move to that area being closer to finch or sheppard wouldn't make a diff to me. If there were 2 similar units I'd just go for the one that is cheaper. I like the buildings on Olive street built by...

I did a walk of the area recently from sheppard - finch and back down. As I was looking at possibly moving to that area. In my opinion I found the sheppard-NYCC area busier during the day. but overall I found that NYCC-Finch to be busier at night ( I visited the area at multiple times). To...

Have you looked at the financial side of things? Is that $375 a month difference based on a 35 year mortgage? Are you calculating on a 2.25 variable rate which is sure to go up? Have you factored in maintenance fees and property taxes in that difference or are you calculating just the...

we almost bought one of the 2 story units on the Stewart side but pulled out at the last minute as we felt the price was just too high (this was back in december). They were asking for $399,900. After reading about Rosto's comments, I'm glad we decided against it.

No clue about the tax. I'm just passing on the ramblings I've come across. As far as the turnaround for streetcars under the building, most recent talk is that the TTC will not give up this land even though they haven't used it in about 3 years. This all just talk I can't confirm...

Last I've heard internally is this. Ticker is currently being installed very slowly. They are just putting in the power and supports for it. The CITY TV sign from what I heard is they are half debating not putting it up now. Apparently there is some outside signage tax that Miller...

I haven't seen a price list for Bravo Condo which is just up the street from Gibson Square but their eblast said units starting in the 300s. I don't think these prices are reasonable at all, it just seems like all the developers trying to cash in when they can.

I believe it's just a parking lot. Gibson House is set maybe a block west of the parking lot.

This is an interesting take from the financial post http://www.financialpost.com/news-sectors/story.html?id=2368295

when i signed on a unit at West harbour City before I pulled out they did ask if we were going to live there or rent it out. Our agent advised us that the answer is always to live there.

IMO, a big jump to say 30yrs/10% down or even 25/15 is not a bad idea. In the early 90's I believe Hong Kong over night implemented a 30% down payment rule to control the real estate bubble. That brought things quickly to a hault. Of course their prices are crazy right now.

exgemmy at Kennedy just north of Sheppard thre are quite a few condos on which would probably be cheaper. That being said the life style is more suburban. If you have a car it shouldn't be an issue as you're still pretty close to groceries and malls.

India Palace on Queen Street by Duncan is my favourite Indian restaurant on Queen. They seem to get less attention as they are the newcomer even though they have been there for a few years now. http://www.indiapalacequeen.ca/
