Cosmopolitan Hotel - TorontoToronto Skyscraper Listing
One of the first boutique hotels to set up shop in Toronto, along with the Hazelton and the Thompson Hotel. Its located off Yonge Street south of King in the St. Lawrence Market area. The lower portion of the tower is hotel, with condos built on the upper floors. It was built around the same time as the Pantages Hotel just up the street at Victoria and Shuter.
The Bank of Canada has stated it's desire, to maintain the low interest rate environment in Canada. This of course will have a positive impact on the Toronto economy, it keeps people buying stuff, and it enables people to repay their debts in a reasonable fashion. Low interest rates will keep the housing market going, even as the federal government continues to tighen up the regulations regarding homebuying and builder financing. Even as hard as they try, the one area of the country that benefits the most from low interest rates is Toronto, as Toronto is the Financial Capital of the country we can turn free money, into more money through investments and trade.
New Trends in Condo Buying Emerging in the Toronto Area
A few new trends to watch out for in the Toronto area when it comes to buying homes as well as buying condos. When it comes to buying homes, the latest tactic is to put a property which had previously been listed on the MLS system, on a bidding site, or list through an auction house to get buyers, sending the price of single detached homes soaring.
As for condos the latest buying technique is the new trend with regards to micro housing, or micro condo living. And we’re seeing now, specifically designed condos to meet that purpose. Another new trend to look out for is the lack of supply in the purpose built rental housing market in Toronto. Even as new condos come online there remains a shortage of apartments built specific to that purpose, so condo rentals have increased even as vacancy climbs, rentals rates do as well.
Busy Condo Market Boosts Toronto Home Sales
With fewer homes in the detached category available in Toronto, new home buyers seem to be opting for new condos, with sales heading forward at a rocket pace last month. Sales of Existing Homes in the Toronto area moved up by a whopping 2.1% in February 2014, and that is compared to the same time period last year. That was mainly due to a 12.5% increase in the sales of condos within the city so stated by the Toronto Real Estate Board. That will contrasts with the sales declines that occurred in townhomes, detached and semi-detached housing during the month, which was mainly due to a constrained supply of those housing types.
