Another key factor is the demand of existing population (i.e., current renters / children turning adults etc.) So if the inventory is growing at an approximately 1.5X the rate of GTA population, how much of it can be absorbed by existing population base. A good way to find...

Anyone have data of year on year housing starts v.s. population growth? This is predict the supply v.s. demand and whether or not we have an over supply. Here's one article of this POV: http://www.mortgagebrokernews.ca/news/population-growth-will-cure-housing-market-analyst-173839.aspx...

AA + GG + the perfect location seems to be a no brainer in this market. Really looking forward to some positive design changes. Heard from the builder, 35 floor and up will be a totally separate condo corp, sharing parking and garbage collection with the lower floors, but have its separate...

Parkdale is such a beautiful historical area thats been neglected. Many historical architecture are still preserved, once restored, I'd say it can be one of the best neighbourhoods in Toronto.

Do you have a Google SketchUp or a 3D model version? I'd love to use my 3D printer to print it out.

I believe it was original, and searching TObiild the building is registered heritage building built in 1893. Total interior square footage around 5000 sq ft. Also when did people stop using copper ing dome roofs for residential homes?

Anyone know about this old Victorian castle with lakeview on King St W? If you drive along King St or Gardiner express you won't miss this old Victorian home with a huge green copper dome. I've never seen a similar large three-storey turret in any other old Toronto homes. It's kind of...

Hi all, As a previous One Bloor purchaser, I have secured one of the most desirable investment unit on a lower floor. But I have recently purchased another property, so I am here to transfer this rare opportunity to someone who wants it. Unit is east facing, overseeing the sky garden and...

Actaully Lakeshore village to Long Branch can be called "West beaches" in my opinion.

That will make DT living more accessisible...not necessarily a bad thing. Cheap rent means more young professionals can settle / move in to dt core and make Toronto a more exciting space. I am all for cheap rent although I am a landlord. i rent for people and their creative uses of the...

$300 / mo except hydro...

Yeah, thats why asking for $2000 + utilities I am still getting multiple offers...I think a golden rule for investment is to leave some room for potential risks...I believe my purchase is kind of "bubble proof"...I may rent for more...but at $2000 I can carry the place even the mortgage rate...

No, the seller is actually not distressed at all, and the property has just been newly renovated. The only reason is probably this property is not in the "most desirable" neighborhoods in realtor and investors eyes...but you know what, renters think differently. I can name a few neighbourhoods...
