I would take the first floor with the bigger square footage over the smaller unit on the higher floor. As long as the layout is good, I think you will be able to sell the first floor unit for much more than the smaller one. Think about how agents entice their purchasers to buy a unit...they...

Yeah....I figure the same thing could happen after the great depression, a sustained effort to keep interest rates at a low level. This happened from about 1935 to around 1965 when there was about a 2% variance up and down in Canada's key lending rate. After that, there was an increase in...

Haha....this sounds so familiar, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and now 2010. When are we ever going to face the fact that interest rates won't be going up ever, and there are thousands and thousands of first time buyers, empty nesters, international investors, and other markets to sustain the trend...

Good point UrbanVigor....nobody knows anyones individual income situation. Banks use formulas and multiples of income when approving prospective purchasers and their mortgages. Plus, I don't think anyone in their right mind would willfully extend themselves to the point that they couldn't keep...

Wow.... $1600/sq.ft for the one bedroom plus library. I'm thinking Donald probably thought this thing was going up in NY City, rather than the T-Dot ;)

"The Toronto"...sounds pretty cool to me!

Perhaps DCN's updates are/were accurate at some point in time....however seeing as how this forum has the most up to date and relevant information, UT is always one or to steps ahead in the 411 category. We should all take it as a compliment imo...;)

Shangri-La?

Wow...that model is bringin' sexy back! Stunning!

Everytime I see pics of this building from the south...it reminds me of that crazy tazmanian devil off of bugs bunny or a wicked tornado ripping through the streets of Sauga....love it!

Yes...they can spread from person to person. They can't jump from one person to another, but intimate contact surely can. I saw this on Dr.Oz the other day, the show that my wife makes me watch when I come home from work. Also, bedbugs were all but eradicated in the 70's and 80's, however...

How about our economy....our currency...our banks....our population growth...desire for city living...foreign investment...resources...sporting events....cultural events...job creation....diversification...infrastructure... etc.etc. I can go on and on. While not all of these factors directly...

Yes, and 30 years ago that same condo cost 150k at 200/square foot, and an investor was making 30k per year while interest rates were at 20%!!! Yes, thats right...20%, and these rates lasted for years because of high inflation and government policy. Now, if you can't justify investing in these...

After all of your doom and gloom sentiments and Toronto RE bashing, you have the gall to tell people on this forum that most of your net worth is invested in real estate....gimme a break!

Yes, there is a gaurantee...if they are off by certain square footage, if they change the layout, add or subtract a bathroom or bedroom, then it would be considered a material change. Even with the new HST that is supposed to come into effect, some lawmen are saying if closing costs go over the...

Well it's good to know that the banks are prudent in this way....I guess this is just one of the reasons Canadian Banks were voted tops in the world! Our banks make wise decisions based on logic while other countries who got caught, gave anyone and everyone a mortgage indiscrimanetly...

Hey caddyfleet..which sales center impressed you the most? If you could choose just one project, which one would it be? I love the new generation wallpaper as well. This new wallpaper can add much needed dimension and depth to an overall room, especially when you have open concept...
