That's really funny. Because agents always say that sellers think their properties are worth more than they are due to emotional attachment, when in reality, the valuation is based on the price the market dictates. In this case, the market said $1.635, not $2 million.

Nothing worse than a stupid mistake like a stupid "correction".

I think this company could be as legitimate as a payday loan company. And just as sleazy. Legal, but sleazy.

There's another rendering here: http://www.toronto.ca/ourtoronto/summer2011/infrastructure/article03.utf8.htm

Yes, absolutely get content insurance! You have property management who is getting used to a new building, potentially unfamiliar mechanical and plumbing systems for new residents, and developers who still have a lot of suite access. All these factors create risk for damage and theft, so you...

I'd much rather have a large capacity single sink than a standard sized double.

Is she a first time homebuyer? Is she on the hook for land transfer taxes?

Why is it insane? This is what an urban mosaic is about. Are you actually suggesting that we marginalize the less fortunate to pockets of the city where "the rest of us" can ignore them and the social issues that displace them in the first place? If you want a city with homogenized...

Can you help me understand why a sea of lower income rental properties (which I don't necessarily agree with) would be such a hindrance to the Y&E area but presents such a wonderful gentrification opportunity at Jarvis & Dundas/Regent Park?

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...
