Just because it comes stapled to your agreement with a Schedule on it does not mean that it is guaranteed to look like that. The developer could staple a photocopy of his ass (Schedule Developer's Ass) to your condo agreement, but that doesn't mean that you own it.

You might want to talk to a real estate agent. They can help you find a place that suits your needs.

As most good investors know, it's always a good idea to buy something for the lowest possible cost, and the highest return. Pre-construction prices almost always give you a higher rate of return than buying resale, and you get to pick all your own finishings. I'm a big fan of...

Much like economic recessions or boom times, we won't actually know we've peaked until a while after we have peaked. Year-to-year fluctuations do not guarantee that a peak has been reached, but an extended multi-year downturn in production does indicate this. It appears as though we may be...

For at least a couple of those, they have to be 6 lanes so that the Mississauga transit drivers don't get confused when they drive around in Etobicoke.

Hey, that's a great photo. Thanks for posting it.

If you look very closely, you can see the future site of the VBHP in this undated (probably early 1900s) photo I found on the www.wtjhs.ca website. Looks like the site was a large warehouse or something over a hundred years ago. In the right corner you can also see where early 20th century poor...

West Toronto Junction Historical Society The WTJHS has made an interesting presentation of old pictures from the Junction's past. Check it out: http://www.wtjhs.ca/wtjhs-2b_files/frame.html

Yeah, I think that looks like a good idea.

By the looks of most of the threads you comment on, you feel this way about just about every condo in Toronto, no? Facebook group for future residents: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7443844255

I bought my unit in mid-december, and at that time there were not a whole lot of "good" units left. It depends what you're looking for though. Good to you might be different than good for me. If I'm not mistaken, there are more 2 bedroom units left than one bedroom units, and there are some one...

The meeting was fairly informative, and very well attended. So far, between 490-500 suites have been sold. 470 was the magic number needed to begin construction. The buildings will be 24 stories and 16? (I think for phase 1). There is a possibility that phase 2 construction will begin...

I'm reminded when I read this article about when I went to California last year. The glitz and glamour of hollywood was vastly overshadowed (in my mind) by the fact that many of the million dollar houses, that are not in a gated community, have bars on all main floor windows. Not a single person...

But the sprinters and horses will appear to be moving when viewed from the moving subway! It'll be like a movie! Way better than another Rogers ad. I like this idea.

Great pictures, Sungs. I missed the arts festival this year, but I look forward to checking that out next year. Jitterbug, that's a great discussion you posted, with some cool pictures. In my continued Junction research, I've found a couple of articles that talk about real estate in the...

A little "before and after" for you (I took this today):

In case anybody's interested, I took a few photos around the neighbourhood today. The "Village by High Park" building will be on the right hand side just before the tracks in the first photo (where the Canadian Tire is/was): Vesuvio, best pizza in Toronto: Great Thai/Asian food: Steak...

I'm not sure how to get a copy, but if you find out, can you let me know? I'd like one too!

Obviously it's no Bloor West Village or anything, but I've been visiting the area regularly over the past few months, and every time I go it seems like things are getting nicer. New restaurants are opening up, galleries, cool shops, etc... Now magazine recently named the Junction as the...

So, it's just been a while since you've been to the Junction then. You really should check it out these days.
