Remember the time when Toronto use to claim that this city was "World Class" and then the hatred we drew from across Canada for even thinking that we were a "World Class City". Thankfully, Toronto has forsaken this stupid title and Calgary has taken it from us, and not a moment too soon. Just when the rest of the world is looking for a place, (a safe place) to dump it's money and Toronto has become the forefront of this especially after the Financial Crisis that destroyed world markets in the United States and Europe. However for Toronto the infusion of cash, caused by our prudish banking style has won worldwide acclaim, and now we don't have to claim anything about being world class, we just take the rest of the world's money and invest it safely in the vaults of our massive bank towers, and let our dutiful managers decide how to best allocate these resources. And trust me, they do not all send the money to be invested into the towering Toronto Real Estate Market, that's another myth, by the Toronto Haters.
“I think it symbolizes the world-class city we have become and that we have luxury developments that would be comparable to other major cities,” says Anne Clarke, director of sales for The River. “All of our sales have been record breaking in the sense of cost per square foot for the Calgary market place.”

Update March 2014
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.
The Canadian Home Mortage Corporation (CMHC) set to alter Mortgage Insurance Rates
The federal agency which regulates mortgage insurance in Canada is set to alter the rates which is charges new home buyers to insure their mortgages against the risk of default. These premiums which new homeowners must pay to get CMHC insurance may also impact the ability of homebuyers to purchase their homes. The federal government has been trying for quite some time to reign in the Toronto and Vancouver Housing markets where the average cost of a single family detached home has now reached over $1 million dollars.
RBC Financial Group Warns, that Rising Mortgage Rates will Make Home Ownership Unaffordable for Most Canadians.
The Royal Bank of Canada is warning that the tide of rising interest rates will make home ownership for most Canadians unaffordable. This will be very true in Toronto and Vancouver where home prices have recently climbed over $1 Million dollars for a single family detached home. Servicing of interest related to home ownership such as mortgage rates, as well as mortgage insurance are set to rise, or have been rising over the past year. The longer term interest rates are moving at such a pace that the incomes of most Canadians will not be able to keep up. The good news however is that the rising interest rates foretell a improving economy for most Canadians looking to improve their financial situation
