With the increasing prices of real estate in Toronto, the refund of up to $4,000 for first time home buyers, which is effective by Jan. 1, 2017, is a move by the government to help young members of the community to purchase a home. This is a small step towards easing the hesitation felt by many regarding whether or not they can afford their first real estate purchase. The refund, slated to be up to...

It's that time of year to start chipping away at that Christmas shopping. (Although some "I'm so cool" people probably finished their shopping in Sept). But for those of us who still have a lot of shopping to do and have no idea what to give anyone, we'd better get off our butts. If you have a Millennial on your list, I've come up with some ideas through my extensive Googling. ...

I'm not sure if I mentioned in previous posts but I am not much of a cleaner. In fact I am downright ambivalent to cleaning most of the time. It usually takes a few unpleasant looks from my husband to realize I'm not pulling my weight in the cleaning department. So since I'm not known for my cleaning skills I like to equip myself with the best tools. For example I've got my...
When picking out furniture for your condo you want to look for ingenuity and function instead of resigning to giving up style and comfort. We love checking out the Space Saver designs on the Decorium website because they get it. Their designs are perfect for the condo resident whose place may be small in square footage but big on style. Decorium's Eleanor Queen Panel Bed W/Storage is a...
Do you think your condo is small? Perhaps you could use a bit more space but surely it is larger than 230 sq ft. Well, yes you are saying but what does that have to do with anything? Would you believe a fellow Torontonian recently invested in a 230 sq ft house (converted garage actually but we digress) in the east end area of Greenwood and Coxwell. It has no running water but it sold...
It's finally here, it's official! We relished through Fall, we waited through Winter, we sat on the edge of our seats through Spring and now it has arrived! Without further ado (drum roll please) mother nature presents Summer (crowd goes wild but not as wild as game 7 NBA finals)! June 21st marks the official start to Summer and just like that everyone wants to jump in a pool or...
We read an interesting article today on Yahoo Finance about Tomer Kagan, a 29 year old visionary. He envisions the future and works with scientists to make it happen. One thing he envisions is a car that cooks. Hey, as long as it doesn't taste like airplane food we are in! It got us wondering how we think the condos of the future will look. Perhaps a hover craft that takes us up...
Is Canadian real estate investing easier on the heart then investing in equities? Why not ask someone who is heavily invested in gold stocks right now? They will probably look at you after they have finished chewing their antacid and say, of course (they might add in some profanity with that of course)! So even though you may have someone in the media or some relative of yours saying...
