This was just supposed to be a simple exercise in dreaming and look how carried away I’ve gotten! It’s spilled into a second blog post!
I’ve got to be careful with my $30,000,000, and perhaps it’s time to make some sound investments.
Of course, I also have to find a place to live…
I just did something I have never (okay, maybe twice…) done before: I bought a lottery ticket.
I went for coffee and in front of the Tim Hortons/Esso was a big sign: 6/49 Jackpot: $30 Million!
Let’s assume I have to spend all $30,000,000 on real estate. What would I buy?
You are about to witness photos, evidence, and descriptions of the WORST project being built right now in the city.
I’m risking getting myself into some hot water here, but I’m not worried, since there is no way the builders have the money to sue me, let alone finish this project.
The scary part is: somebody will eventually purchase these townhouses…
There are some serious changes happening in the world of real estate; changes that have been discussed and scrutinized behind the scenes for years, and will now come into effect.
The general public will soon become aware of these changes that are intended to combat money laundering.
They sure won’t make the lives of Realtors any easier…
I once saw a shirt I found rather funny that read: “Toronto has two seasons: Winter…..and Construction.”
It’s quite true. As soon as the good weather rolls around, the construction begins.
But summer also cues the start of something else: renovating.
An increasing number of people are spending money on renovations.
This isn’t abnormal, is it?
What if the above sentence read, “An increasing number of people are spending money on renovations….for their cottage?”
In many cases, the “home away from home” is nicer than the home itself…
How do you judge a new condominium development in terms of it’s value?
What criteria do you look at first?
Location? Design? Layout? Price? Amenities? Developer?
Any of these are crucial to the success of the project, and they all get a thumbs up in my book…
This has nothing to do with real estate.
I’ve been away for four days, but it seems like a month.
My brain has yet to return to the working world, yet my blog is becoming stale with last weeks’ posts.
Until I can get back to focusing on real estate, these pics will have to tide you over…
Another day, another series of multiple offers.
And who says the market is slowing down?!?!
This situation was different from the rest, however, since the property in question happens to be in my building…
I’ve been doing a lot of leases lately, and I’d consider myself to be in the know in terms of pricing and location.
While I don’t always agree with what people want, I can certainly help them find what they are looking for.
But here is a rental “deal” that I just wouldn’t feel comfortable doing…
