Yorkdale Upscale Expansion
Its almost like Yorkville Has Come to the Suburbs.
Gucci, Prada, Tiffany, Cartier and Tesla, all for the suburban masses. Yorkdale is one of the highest grossing malls on earth, per square foot. It is also one of the highest profit margin malls on earth per square foot.Look for those record numbers to rise with this latest expansion.
Yorkdale is by far the craziest mall in the GTA, the Eaton Centre is a Sunday Picnic compared to this human Catastrophe avalanche.
The picture below does not do justice to the crowds you will encounter in that place, its pure madness. You just don't understand.
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.
Cooling Housing Market Seen As Healthy for Toronto Condos
As sales have declined from the historic highs of 2011, which as I have repeated on this blog was a record year for home and condo sales. So there was likely to be some pull back this year, and of course the doomsayers will jump on this as the Apocalypse heading our way. Read More
