    Toronto Toronto | Market Wharf | 110.33m | 33s | Context Development | a—A

    Who's getting the electric car hook up in their parking space?

    opinions please

    Unless one buys a corner unit, it is pretty standard to have only two windows in a condo of this configuration. I guess you could have windows looking into your neighbours' bedrooms.

    City of mass construction: Toronto’s unstoppable condos show no signs of slowing down

    October's CMHC vacancy rates for Toronto were below the Cdn average of 2.5%. So unless things have changed a lot since October, your statement that there is a vacancy blizzard is unfounded - an anecdote here and there does not necessarily reflect the market.

    We didn't get that far in the conversation so I don't know.

    City of mass construction: Toronto’s unstoppable condos show no signs of slowing down

    Vacancy rates are still pretty low in Toronto - about 2.1% vs Canada avg of about 2.5% according to CMHC. This should keep rents pretty decent and continue to drive demand.

    I don't think the foundation was the hardest part since they just used pilons. I have a place on the 4th floor of the podium. Last week I asked about putting radiant heating under the tiled floors and was told that the tiles were already down. I also noticed when I drove by yesterday that the...

    opinions please

    I quite like this floor plan as well. One of the biggest shortcomings with lots of condos is a lack of storage. This unit has lots of storage plus a laundry room (not just a laundry closet). My only real criticism is that you walk directly into the living room from the outside - ie no foyer and...

    De Rosario paints a scary picture of growing up in Scarborough

    DeRo denied saying all of that about Scarborough. The British media loves to exaggerate this sort of thing to influence the public (i.e., Celtic's fan's) perception of players.

    Why do you buy pre-construction real estate?

    You must also read through the Disclosure Statement as that sets out what rules govern you living there amongst other things.

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    Daveto - why are you so negative? Sales figures only matter to a buyer or seller to the extent that they affect price and perhaps choice. The price data suggests that supply and demand are pretty balanced. If there was oversupply prices would be dropping. I also don't think there is excessive...

    Why do you buy pre-construction real estate?

    There are risks with everything. You just have to watch Holmes on Holmes to see some of the unfortunate surprises that purchasers of pre-owned homes have to deal with. At least with a new home, you are covered to a large extent by the Tarion warranty. A smart purchaser would make sure their...

    What are my options

    This is what I was thinking. Chances are you'll have some equity in the place that you can use as a downpayment on a new bigger place. If you've put 20-25% down then your rent should just about cover your costs.

    What are my options

    Hmm - I'm surprised there is no assignment clause. My understanding is that unless there is a clause that says you cannot assign then you can assign. Check with your lawyer.
