Place I know sold many units, resale, rentals and pre con so far

My brother even bid on a home and it went for about 10% over asking (price wasn’t sandbagged) earlier this week (detached home)
People still buying lots it seems. I’m pretty close to this stuff now too.

I’m not the authority at all but I see a lot of this stuff

Did a quick case study on negative cash flow condos, it seems a lot of people can't wrap their heads around why people still buy them:

You already are - now just to buy a tear down house and build it up over many years. It’s not me making that kind of money...

Really though I just posted it to show that high priced places are still selling in this market. If you know the area you know that it isn’t some super high end premium location. It’s just a nice house in Toronto

I assumed it was a flip house, meaning they bought it, tore it down, built it and sold it. Looks like they lived in it (or someone did) for a good 6 years or so before putting it on the market. Either way, great house.

My parents bought our last family house in 1994. 4br, 2.5ba, 2350sqft. It was moderately updated over the years but nothing extravagant. Replace some carpet with laminate, paint, that kinda stuff. Sold it in 2011 when they went into their condo.

I found out it was sold again last fall so I looked up the pics. Still the original kitchen, bathrooms, some window coverings, even my sister's old furniture (circa 1994ish) that was left with the new owners in 2011 was still there. The only major changes were Cali shutters and a larger deck in the backyard.

Still sold for $1MM.

I am seeing 2 profiles of buyers:

1. Those who sold high and are buying high, no fucks given here.
2. Kids who ask mom and dad for downpayment, mom and dad pull HELOC on house to give to kids (typical arrangement). Effectively you have 3 families paying for a home. Parents of kids paying off downpayment, kids paying mortgage. A lot more common than I previously thought. Given how expensive things are at, we are all probably going to be doing the same Maybe even get the grandparents involved by 2040!!!

Inventory is still pretty low and you have 3-4 months of pent up demand.

I have a feeling a lot of people who buy now will live with regret in the near term. Otherwise, it's a great time to be a seller especially for hard to move properties. I am working on one near a power line right now that usually sells 200k-300k less than comps 1km away from the powerline. Between no houses available and where things are at this listing will probably get 150k more than it's supposed to.

Simple. Lack of supply and money is super cheap to borrow now.

Also people making dumb decisions (moving far out).

Shopify has 250k locked in at The Well, employees can work from home, yet during the pandemic they secured another 90k sq. ft. at the same place and increasing their footprint.

CN: Working from home is temporary despite what employers say.

Good luck with that commute from Barrie tho

Couldn’t agree more. Let’s face it. Businesses will want employees back in the office. They want control period and working at home they lose that.

What's the deal with lots of properties being listed twice? In the Realtor app I see lots of places with two listings, one with a traditional WXXXXXXX number and the other with a number like 30799822. Same address, same price, same realtor.

Different realtor boards. There are some listings up here done in triplicate.

If the listing is outside of TREB, it will start with X on the MLS listing.

save $ on office space
longer work hours
meeting requests at 7 am up to 6 pm
im actually busier at home than the office


working from home works and it's now proven.

probably depends on roles though. - not in my house. we're both busier

Depends which, Class A office or Class A retail? It's all over the map, numbers are still hush/unchanged, but anecdotally from people in the know it's all over the place.
