Buyers May Lose $50k in Purchasing Power

As you may have heard, there is a new "Stress Test" that will be taking place on June 1, 2021. I had the opportunity to ask Chris Molder, a mortgage broker from Tridac Mortgage, about the changes and how it affects home buyers. Watch the Interview The stress test increased from 4.79% to 5.25% and now affects both insured and uninsured mortgages. So if you need a mortgage of $1,000,000, your...

The Market is slowing down!

The average price is up +32.8% compared with last year, when COVID started.  But if you look at the numbers from March, they are actually dropping. I am seeing a softening in Mississauga and Brampton.  For about half of the houses we were looking at, they actually accepted a "conditional" offer! In a super-Seller's market, this is unheard of, so it suggests that either fewer listings are...

A Renovation Tip to Save You Time and Money!

With the crazy house-prices in Toronto, many homeowners are choosing to renovate their current home instead of upgrading to a new one.

Our designer recommended that you should always lay out a group of 6 to 9 tiles to see if that's the "look" you are going for?" Sure, the pattern or veins on one tile might...

I've talked with a few empty-nesters this year who are thinking about down-sizing because they are starting to find their empty, 4-bedroom home a little too much to maintain. Moving to a condo is a great option!  Everything is taken care...

Thanks for an amazing Spring Market!

This week, we successfully sold a $2,000,000+ luxury home in Oakville. What makes this story interesting is that the Owners had previously tried to sell their home for about 11 months with another realtor and was not successful. Earlier this month, we sold another Toronto condo in two weeks when the Seller had previously tried over a two month period. We follow a simple formula: For example,...

Why are multiple offers so effective?

This week, we successfully sold another home in Mississauga.  I'm happy to say we got 65 showings, 8 offers and almost +$200,000 over the listing price. The reason is because we use a blind-bidding system. This means that potential buyers have NO IDEA what other buyers have offered. The spread can be incredible. Differences are routinely $100,000 to $200,000 between the low and high...
