Are some people looking awfully smug and carefree to you on this very snowy day? Don't be puzzled, you see the thing is those smug, carefree looking people are living the condo lifestyle. So, basically when house residents woke up today they looked out the window at all the snow and immediately thought of how they were going to be late to work because of all the shovelling they would have to...

What's my budget? I hope you are looking in a mirror when you are asking that question because only you truly know the answer. Mortgage Professionals, Bankers , Realtors and Lawyers should be consulted when you are buying a property, but none of us are with you 24 hours a day. We may not know about your need to eat out 5 times a week or your online shopping addiction. We...
Many average Canadian families are finding home affordability out of reach with higher prices and increases in mortgage rates, says a recent report from RBC. It states that the average household has to give 43.3 percent of its much needed pre-tax income just to service the cost of owning a bungalow at current market values. For a two-storey home, the affordability measure rose to 48.9 percent...
Why do so many people love the condominium lifestyle? Everyone has their unique reasons, such as they like the cute girl on the 7th floor, but one reason that is pretty common among those who reside in condos is the fact that it is virtually maintenance-free living. We don't mean that one doesn't pay a maintenance fee of course, as the vast majority of people who live in condos do. ...

This opportunity is coming in the form of One Park Place South Tower which is part of the award winning Daniels community at Dundas St E and Sumach St. It is available for VIP Platinum Insider buying and we are opening the...
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...
Something about this time of year reminds us of a fresh start, a New Year if you will. Perhaps it is still instilled in us from our schooling years that the new year/grade starts now. Well whatever it is there is a "get up and go" attitude in the air. Give new life to your New Year resolutions that you made and haven't done! With interest rates still low and only going up, now...
It's the end of August and I am feeling a tad down. It's not like I was on summer holidays and have to return to school but still, can't help but feel a little down. Well if there are any others out there who are feeling the same way, I say we get out of this slump and enjoy what's left of this glorious summer season. What to do oh what to do?.. Perhaps one last trip to Algonquin Park?...
What would you think if your friend turned to you and said "I'm tired I think I'll go to Archie". Would you say, who the heck is Archie? Or perhaps you'd say congrats how come you never told me about the unlucky guy (you would be kidding of course). What would you think if your friend said Archie is the name I've given my condo? Weird, might run through your head, however, we beg to...
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...
