Show me one single condominium that was completed in its entirety, on-time, on the very first occupancy date ever promised.
My bet is: this has never, ever happened.
Delays are simply a part of the process with pre-construction condos, so much so, in fact, that we no longer ask if the project will be delayed, but rather for how long?
Last week, I decided to sit outside and write this post on my lovely patio, surrounded by my gorgeous plants & trees, and taking in the last few days of summer.
But even with a thick fleece sweater on, I was cold.
Winter is just around the corner…
There are many fantastic neighborhoods in the City of Toronto.
Then again, there are some terrible ghettos as well.
But I’ve always found it interesting how every good area is just a stone’s throw from a bad one…
The one major drawback to living in a condominium is the lack of outdoor space; more specifically the lack of a backyard.
But there are some great parks in the downtown core, and some terrific condominiums right next door.
Here is a more detailed look…
If it looks like a rant and smells like a rant, it’s a rant…..and I feel a big one coming on!
While I do have my opinions on the subject of what to do with the Gardiner Expressway, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not 100% informed.
Please feel free to poke holes in my thoughts and opinions…
So you want to move out or move on, and you don’t have the money to purchase a property right now.
Renting will cure what ails you!
But just because renting costs less than purchasing doesn’t mean there are any fewer considerations…
I did an evaluation a couple months ago for a large 1-bedroom condo in my own building.
I quoted a price of $319,900 which I felt was somewhat generous.
Today, that listing hit the market with another agent, which is nothing new to me. But the price? A whopping $339,900…
Not everybody is a seasoned buying/selling veteran when it comes to real estate, and if you know absolutely NOTHING about real estate, how do you get in the game?
Let’s rewind….all the way back, and start from the beginning…
As with the theme of my entire blog in general, this post will be part educational, and part entertainment.
The punch line in this post will have you thinking, “No, seriously, did that actually happen?”
The other night, I had a listing presentation for a condominium in the Queen West area, and the owners and I did not see eye-to-eye.
They had no problem with my commission rate or the shirt I was wearing, but they did have some “ideas” of their own on how to market the property.
What’s wrong with doing what has always worked before?
