Moving Day Etiquette

What actually happens on moving day? Why do so many people dread the actual day of moving? The day of ‘closing’ can be smooth and relatively painless (Okay, we won’t go as far as to say it is enjoyable), if these few things are organized and every one’s feelings are considered, through the entire process.

More Than Just A House…

Every once in a while a very special home in our neighbourhood becomes available.

One of those homes that you say ‘if that home is ever for sale – I want to buy it’.

Welcome home to 69 Bevdale Road.

This custom built ‘builders own home’ offers the design and detail rarely found in today’s new homes. The owners of ‘Est-El Homes’ built this for their own family just a few years ago.

The current owners continued to add the features that make this home what it is today – more than just a home, it’s a lifestyle. Read the rest of this entry »

Market Trends in the Neighbourhood

Toronto’s ‘Spring’ market is in full bloom and many homes are continuing to sell quickly and at record high prices.

However, with inventory starting to creep up, home sellers will need to fully analyze their ‘competition’ (other homes for sale) and understand the buyer trends in their immediate neighbourhood to fully take advantage of what is still considered a ‘sellers’ market.

Mortgage rates went up a little; a new 5 year closed mortgage is about 4.10% and we expect to see them get closer to 5 before long. But we are still talking about unbelievably low rates and I just shake my head when I hear some news report showing a young couple stating that if rates hit 5% they will choose not to buy a home!  That’s right – they would prefer to just rent for the rest of their lives. That just doesn’t make sense.

Our sellers are seeing serious solid offers from qualified buyers; buyers who are anxious to take advantage of a mortgage rate commitment under 4%. We expect this type of buyer motivation to continue through June.

Many people are asking about what might happen with home prices when HST kicks in and the rates go up. Read the rest of this entry »

Custom Modern Contemporary Design is ‘Green’

Wonderful opportunity on the quiet no-traffic crescent at Yonge & Sheppard.

This custom modern contemporary home was originally designed and built by a professional couple;  she was a York University faculty of environmental studies and he was a professional Engineer who described himself as a sustainable technologies engineer.

Their goal was to build a house that was kind to the environment, required a quarter of the energy of a conventional home to operate and is healthier to live in. 

Equally important is that this home offers style, design and all the modern amenities most people desire.  VIEW MORE PICTURES HERE Read the rest of this entry »
