Boomers To Shift Towards Cities Centres

Toronto Downtown Waterfront

Canada’s three major cities-Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver have all placed near the top in recent global rankings, mainly because of urban livability in their healthy downtown cores.

Compared to the United States many residents there, continued to move out of the downtown cores and retreated to the suburbs.

For different reasons our bigger Canadian cities will do well in the coming years.

Even now we can see how there is an increase in Condos in Vancouver and Toronto, the Condominium capital of North America.

Read how Boomers will reshape Downtown Toronto Real Estate.

Home Prices Rise 11% In Third Quarter

torontocondo — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:40:59 +0000

National average resale prices rose to $327,736 a 11 per cent increase in the third quarter with 135,182 sales July to September, up 18 per cent from 2008.

Again the reasons for these impressive numbers:

Lower interest rates
Pent up demand from late 2008
Short supply with fewer listings

Several economists see higher interest rates early in 2010 that “will put an end to the mini-boom..”

Resales of 28 per cent in Toronto and 108 per cent in Vancouver have pushed the national averages upward, the largest jump since 2002.

Beaches Say No To Condos

torontocondo — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:09:33 +0000

The Beaches is an east-end neighbourhood that boasts one of Toronto’s longest waterfronts with parks, sandy beaches, 3.1 km boardwalk and vibrant restaurants and cafes.

The trendy Queen Street East is turned into The Beaches International Jazz Festival each July.

A proposed four storey lakefront Beaches Condo and an adjacent three-storey home are about to undermine Toronto’s official plan if they are approved as infill properties.

A resident’s group has incorporated to fight the proposed development raising over $70,000 to pay for expert witnesses to testify on their behalf in support of the residents.

The Ontario Municipal Board wrapped up their hearing last week and a ruling is expected before the end of 2009.

Neville Park Blvd., Munro Park Ave., and Nursewood Rd. are zoned R1, one of Toronto’s most restrictive zoning.

Other exclusive Toronto Real Estate areas zoned R1 include exclusive areas like Rosedale, Forest Hill and Swansea.

Toronto Real Estate Downtown

Toronto Real Estate buyers continue to drive the resale Condos market downtown.

The Fall Toronto Real Estate Market has reversed the pace dramatically from the Fall of 2008.

The fast recovery in Real Estate across the country has surprised both Real Estate companies, Real Estate Boards and Bay Street economists.

Why has the Resale Real Estate Markets Bounced back?

Lowest Interest rates from lenders in several decades
Pent up demand from last year
Fewer properties for sale resulting in higher prices and more demand ( bidding wars)
Sharp recovery of prices
Buyers not as nervous about their own jobs and the World Wide Recession
Expectations for an upward trend for 2009

Downtown Toronto Condos

The value of Toronto area Condos and Homes are worth more than have been for years with the Toronto Real Estate Market increasing in sales and average prices for September.

According to The Toronto Real Estate Board prices increased from lower-end homes all the way up to Luxury Toronto Condos.

Again one of the main reasons for this rebound has been the lowest interest rates in years resulting in stong monthly Real Estate transactions since the beginning of 2009.

The average resale home hit a record high of $406,877 and home and condo sales were up 28 per cent over September, 2009.

Year to date average Toronto area home prices also set a record of $388,000 with TREB forecasting continuing upward trends for the rest of 2009.

Who Can Afford Toronto Condos Downtown

Toronto Waterfront Condos

The question was recently asked, Who can afford Toronto Condos downtown?

My buyers have been professional people like accountants, lawyers, medical sales representatives, aerospace employees, doctors and several out-of-town buyers as well.

The fact that most downtown Toronto Condo buyers do not need a car and can literally walk to work rather than commute incurring more time and money helps pay the mortgage.

Toronto has a large choice of locations, sizes and affordable Condominiums in the downtown area, all competitively priced as well.

Investors in Toronto Real Estate from Toronto, Ontario, other provinces and other countries also play a big part in offering downtown Condo suites for rent.

Some of the larger Toronto Condominiums for rent are shared making the luxury Condos more affordable to rent with two or more sharing the lease.

The Building Industry & Land Development Association ( BILD ) attributed the activity in the Toronto Real Estate Market to homebuyers taking advantage of great deals and prices offered by Toronto area homebuilders.

Toronto Condos Resales August 2009

Toronto Housing August Starts Up 19.7%

torontocondo — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:13:03 +0000

A mixed number of housing stats appeared for Toronto Housing August figures.

Toronto housing starts rose 19.7 compared to July on a seasonal adjusted annual rate to 23,700 units, according to the Canadian Mortgage and housing Corporation.

Statistics Canada indicated the Toronto Civic workers strike resulted in a 54 per cent decline in July helping to drag down the nationa averages.

New Toronto residential construction has stayed at the same levels for he last few months however new home sales and building permits have strengthened.

The CMHC went on to say the housing market in 2010 should see some stabilization by an improving provincial economy, improving financial markets and high levels of affordability.

The Ontario Home Builders Association noted that Ontario housing starts fell 48 per cent when compared to August last year but they believe ” the worst is behind us”.

The Toronto Real Estate Market and especially the Toronto Condos market was hit with lower sales as building permits were not actioned because of the Toronto Civic workers strike.
