After my experience last week at a few new-condo launches, I immediately came back to my office and put on an impromptu real estate seminar for those of my colleagues who were (un)lucky enough to be present.
I ranted and raved, and they sat and listened.
And then one of them played devil’s advocate and raised a very interesting way of looking at things…
At the risk of being black-listed by developers in the real estate industry, I’m going to tell you what I think about the “special broker’s preview” that took place on Tuesday at Sync Condos.
It was a freaking joke, and I can’t believe I expected anything different…
Let’s try this again.
Remember when I wrote about my attempts to purchase a condo at 2 Gladstone in the Queen West area?
Well Streetcar Developments will be launching Sync Condos this week and I’m bringing my cheque book, my patience, and a lot of elbow grease…
The Regal Constellation hotel on Dixon Road is now boarded up and scheduled for demolition.
The surrounding area is full of hotels, all trying to avoid the same fate as the former-landmark, Regal.
What is happening to the hotel industry around the Toronto International Airport?
I’ve been asking this question for three years, and prices have continued to rise.
I feel like it’s a joke that everybody understands but me, and yet I continue to say, “I don’t get it.”
Why does this building cost more than any other building in the area?
Liberty Village was originally intended to be more of an “east versus west” idea since the area runs between Strachan and Hanna.
However, the townhouses in and around Liberty Village take on more of a “north versus south” theme since the properties on Laidlaw Street, Joel Shuster Way, and Machells Avenue are being passed off as “Liberty Village.”
But I’m here to tell you that the latter are not true Liberty Village townhouses…
Kenny Bania…..greatest guest character in Seinfeld history!
Bania sure knew GOLD when he saw it, and I think the residents of the few remaining houses on Kenaston Gardens must see the pile that they’re sitting on right now…
Phase Three of D.N.A. Condos is going to be launched on the northwest corner of King & Strachan this spring, and there is already a buzz about the project.
As far as King West goes these days, I’m convinced that you could build a wicked fort out of cardboard boxes, and people would line up to buy it.
Oh yeah, it sounds great in theory, but when you hire a friend to renovate your house or condo, are there actually more pros than cons?
You might be doing him a favour, or perhaps vice versa, but you’d better be sure of your friendship before you embark upon this potentially tumultuous journey…
I’ve written a lot about pre-construction condominiums in the past few months, and I do so under the assumption that it’s always for investment.
But the reality is - many buyers actually purchase pre-construction condominiums to live in as a primary residence!
I wouldn’t advise it, and here’s why…
